Beautiful Packard Convertible

Body & Paint:

The bodywork of this beautiful Packard Convertible is in a good to very good condition with no rust. The paint looks very good, as can be seen in the pictures. There are close-ups of the lesser parts available. The chrome parts have some wear and patina on them.

Technical:

The car is in excellent technical condition. It drives well and starts very easily. The engine, brakes, and transmission are all in good working order. There are detailed invoices available for recent maintenance, including a new battery. The car has undergone a significant service and several repairs such as:

• Complete new starter relay system
• Radiator repair
• Servo repair
• Thermostat replacement
• Welding repairs
• All new Delco system
• Alternator repair
• New glass jar for windshield wipers
• New tires

Also the hydraulically controlled windows and convertible top work flawlessly.

Additionally, it has passed a rigorous SBAT inspection in Belgium, valid until 03/05/2028. The inspection noted a small issue with the steering servo (now resolved, with invoice) and a minor oil leak, which is reasonable for classic cars.

Interior:

The interior is generally very clean. There is a small tear on the driver’s seat and some hairline cracks in the polyester dashboard, but overall it is in great condition.

Documentation:

The car comes with all necessary documents, including invoices amounting to approximately €4000 for parts alone, excluding labor. A full expert report is also available.

Other Information:

The car originated from the US and is ready to hit the road. It can be viewed or picked up in Melle, Belgium, and shipping is available at the buyer’s expense.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
