Continual improvements to drivability and style meant that Packard’s future looked bright…until WWII started. However. 1940 was still good in the financial sense and Packard introduced the new senior Custom One Eighty Series to appeal to the wealthiest automobile buyers. These upscale cars featured a new 356ci L-head Inline 8 engine that utilized aluminum pistons. cast iron head. Stromberg carburetor and produced 160 horsepower! For the first time ever on a production car. air conditioning was optional on the new 180 series and Packard managed to sell 1. 00 of their most extravagant cars in 1940.

The previous Michigan owner purchased the car in the summer of 2014 from a collector in Indiana. This owner spent over $60. 00 to make sure this sedan was in top notch running condition and ready for showing. The straight eight engine was fully rebuilt with new bearings. lifters. valves. valve guides and seats. The steering box was rebuilt. as well as the transmission and the overdrive unit. to ensure this car is reliably capable of modern highway speeds. Most recently appearing at the St. John’s Councours. the indicated mileage of 75. 38 is likely original and the undercarriage presentation will support this. Cosmetically. the paint will shows only minor signs of being used and enjoyed but remained in excellent shape along with the bright work. Inside. the cloth interior is fresh and rips/tears are non-issues. Included with the car is a lug wrench. as well as a Packard service record booklet and postcard.
