Description

THIS IS A FULLY RESTORED BODY-OFF RESTORATION WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES DRIVEN. THIS IS PACKARD'S FIRST YR FOR THE ALL-WEATHER CABRIOLET CONVERTIBLE HAVING CRANK-UP WINDOWS WHERE THE MOST COMMON 1928 ROADSTER HAD INSERTS TO INSTALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS DUEL SIDEMOUNTS. RUMBLE SEAT. RARE WIRE WHEELS AND UPHOLSTERED WITH A RICH SOFT LEATHER . THE CHASSIS & ENGINE COMPARTMENT ARE DETAILED WHILE THE ENGINE STARTS EASILY AND RUNS SMOOTHLY. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR PAINT CHIPS ON ONE CORNOR OF THE RUMBLE SEAT EDGE AND ALSO THE GOLF BAG DOOR. BOTH MAY BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO ANY SALE. . I NEED TO APOLOGIZE THAT A NUMBER THE PICTURES SELECTED FOR THIS LISTING WERE "INPROCESS" AND JUST DOCUMENTATION AND CLEANING UP WASN'T A PRIORITY AT THE TIME. SINCE IT'S WINTER IN COLORADO. THE PRESENTED LISTED PICTURES WILL STILL PROVIDE A GOOD IDEA. BRIEF HISTORY: ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN RHODE ISLAND FOR USE AT FAMILY'S SUMMER HOME ON NANTUCKET ISLAND. EARLY 80'S.
