For Sale-- 1939 Packard Touring Sedan 1700 [ 6 cyl ] This is a restorer's dream. Over my 81 years I have restored a number of cars and believe me this is the kind I always hoped for. The known history of this Packard is. in1986 it was taking to a restoration shop in Warrenton Va. It was disassembled and some work was done. but money became a issue. so it sit inside for 6 years. I saw it upon a visit to the shop and bought it and resold it to a guy in my town. he stored it in his garage from 1991 until 2week ago. I bought it back. it has always been stored inside. he Packard has a complete new exhaust system. the gas tank has been sent off and reconditioned. the engine seem to have been rebuilt while in the restoration shop [ see sign of new gaskets all over] it run very well and the clutch feel smooth. the only body work needed is the driver door has a kink at the upper hinge. the big job will be the interior needs to be completely done. but all good for patterns.
