Can’t hide money? We’re helping out a seasoned hot rod buddy from Tennessee sell his 1936 Packard Eight Sedan. We hauled the 4,800-lb beast back to Alabama last week. She’s solid, has original paint, and loads of new chrome. Handles, bumpers, headlights, tail lights, hood ornament/radiator cap, and running board trim all rechromed or replaced. Has all new tinted glass and window felt. It rolls on 17-inch wire wheels. Notice it has six wheels. Two spares are tucked into the sides of the sweeping front fenders. Our buddy, John, spent loads of money on it since he purchased and is ready to send it to a new owner.
Look at that!
All original. Black fenders and deep Packard Blue paint on the body is a sight to behold. The interior even has the original upholstery as well and is in great condition. Factory Motorola radio mounted under dash. Packard labeled these the 14th Series and this is a 1401 Club Sedan.
And… you get to work on it too
The 320 cubic-inch eight cylinder engine gets warm very quick. Previous owner replaced the radiator but the “overheating” issue remains. Has a new air cleaner and filter. The three-speed floor shift synchromesh transmission shifts smooth. Out back the lower trunk access door needs wood frame to complete assembly and make functional. This is a beautiful car that needs just a little work to finish.
Investment
This Packard is a great place to hide you money. That’s what our gear head mind tells us. Who knows what the economy will do but this rare classic will always look good in the garage, car show, or as a wedding event car.
Come get it.
Price: $45,000
