Offered here is a beautifully restored 1942 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe with classic appeal everywhere you look! Painted in the two-tone iridescent shades of Sable Brown & Carlotta Brown with a gorgeous Brown & Beige leather combination interior! The 1940s Packard example, seen here, is riding on a 127” wheelbase with power coming from its original 282ci Straight 8 L-Head engine with correct Carter dual downdraft carburetor producing 125 horsepower. All is transferred through a column shifted 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive adding comfort at higher speeds with less engine stress. Options are abundant on this convertible which include accessory running boards, single side-mounted spare, Packard AM radio with cowl-mounted antenna, working electric dash clock, Trippe driving lights with original dash switch, Cormorant radiator mascot, turn signals, rear reverse light, dual outside mirrors, Packard Deluxe under dash heater/defrost along with auxiliary under seat heater, power folding convertible top, fiberglass rear fender skirts, chrome wire spoke wheels with 255/75R15 radial wide whitewall tires, decorative exhaust turn down tip, and carpeted trunk.
This stunning example began life in sunny, southern California and sold new from Earl C. Anthony Packard in Los Angeles on November 28th, 1941. It remained a solid, rust free example and went through a passionate restoration in 1996 when Massachusetts collector and body shop owner, Frank Finney, purchased it. He was an active member of the North Shore Old Car Club and attended many car shows in the northeast. He conducted a complete repaint in factory colors, all new leather interior and floor carpeting, refinished dash, full engine rebuild, all new cloth-covered 6-volt wiring harnesses, new sending unit & pump, restored original running boards with rubber surface, complete restoration of transmission & overdrive with original parts, balanced driveshaft, stainless steel exhaust, all new tires, all new braking system & linkage, new wheel bearings, fully refurbished power top operation with new convertible top, rebuilt water heater, re-plated & polished chrome bumpers, and so much more! Upon completion, it went on to be shown in the 1999 Packard Centennial Celebration in Warren, OH, The Castle Hill Concours D'Elegance, and many others. It stayed in the loving care of Mr. Finney until his passing in July 2018, and with the Finney family until February of this year. Don’t miss this rare opportunity.
