Description for Packard 1950

This stunning 1950 Packard Victoria convertible has undergone an extensive 3 year nut and bolt restoration with a few modern upgrades added along the way. The stylish lines and beauty of the Packard are so unique and gracious it would be a sin to have any custom modifications done to the outside of the car and very little was done to the nature of the interior as well. The concept of the project was to build a very rare and eye catching convertible that still keeps it's period correct appearance and luxury but yet have the drive train and suspension updated with modern components to give the car a smooth and dependable ride. After an excellent 1950 Packard convertible was acquired the body was removed from the chassis and put on a rotisserie where it could be perfected. The original chassis has been updated with a new GM subframe from a 96 Impala SS along with the rear suspension from the Impala also. The complete drive train are from the same car consisting of a fuel injected LT1 350 V8, L60E automatic overdrive transmission, nd rear axle with disc brakes. Other features include power steering, wheel power disc brakes, intage heat and air conditioning, ilt wheel, akota digital dash, lectric wipers, ower windows, way power seat, nd power top. The original hydraulic system for the power windows has been converted to GM electric along with the power top. The interior has been finished in a beautiful beige leather with all dash components being restored along with a new Hartz cloth convertible top. the body on the car is laser straight and has been painted in GM victory red with all new refurbished chrome and stainless. This is an impeccable car through and through and rides like a dream on the road, ery smooth and tight. This Packard has clocked just under 2,000 miles on it since it has been finished and is ready for the show or the open road. This Packard is out of my private collection. I have been driving and building street rods since the early 80's and this is one of the best I have owned. It has been in my personal garage since I have owned it and it is about as dependable as the come. I have taken it to local car shows and many pleasure trips some as far as 200 miles without a single issue. It is a great car that is ready for someone else to enjoy. It was professionally built and would cost nearly 250k to build again. The car looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. Buy with confidence a very nice automobile that still looks fresh. This is not a fire or bankruptcy sale but you can own this beauty for a fraction of the build cost. If not sold soon it will be headed to Arizona in January for the Barrett-Jackson auction..
