The historic American luxury automaker, Packard, holds a special place in automotive history, despite going defunct in 1959. Once a revered private company, it merged with Studebaker in 1954 to form Studebaker-Packard before eventually fading away. Packard was known for its pioneering innovations, introducing many automotive "firsts" such as air conditioning, the modern steering wheel, and 12-cylinder engines. While not widely recognized by all enthusiasts, those who are familiar with Packard truly appreciate its legacy. It is for this reason that the 1924 Packard 226 Roadster Convertible Restoration is bound to capture the attention of discerning petrolheads.
The 1924 Packard 226 Roadster Convertible Restoration belongs to the esteemed second series of the Packard Six model lineup. This stunning vehicle has undergone a meticulous restoration, showcasing a captivating maroon paint job and a beige convertible top. The exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the impeccable brightwork, clear head and tail lamps, and the pristine condition of the undercarriage. Rolling on period-correct wire wheels with new whitewall tires, this car retains its original charm from the Twenties, transporting you back to the golden era of automotive elegance. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the original upholstered interior featuring a bench seat and a wood-trimmed dash. The restoration work is evident in the flawless gauges that appear brand-new, while the steering wheel exudes a sense of timeless beauty. Adding to the surprises, this car is equipped with a rear rumble seat affectionately known as the "Mother-In-Law seat" during its heyday. However, it's important to note that this seat, which swings out of the trunk, offers no protection from the elements. Perhaps it's best reserved for those less-favored guests.
Powering the 1924 Packard 226 Roadster Convertible Restoration is a rebuilt 268.4ci L-Head inline-6 engine, which has covered less than 1,000 miles since its restoration. The single barrel updraft carburetor has also been meticulously restored, ensuring optimal performance. The car is equipped with a rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission, which has also covered less than 1,000 miles, providing smooth and precise gear changes. A multi-disk dry plate clutch adds to the driving experience, offering efficient power transfer. The rear differential features a rebuilt spiral bevel 10-bolt design with 4.66 gears, guaranteeing excellent traction and acceleration. The front and rear semi-elliptic leaf springs contribute to a comfortable and controlled ride, while the car maintains a classic rear-wheel-drive configuration.

This 1949 Packard Eight Touring Sedan blends classic postwar American luxury with full-size 1970s Cadillac power and comfort. While it retains the elegant “bathtub” styling and stately presence that made Packard a premier marque, it now sits on a 1977 Cadillac DeVille frame and benefits from a 425 cubic-inch Cadillac V8, automatic transmission, and matching differential. The result is a restomod that preserves the vintage aesthetic while offering more modern drivability. Finished in a handsome two-tone maroon and tan combination, this Packard delivers the look of 1949 with the cruising confidence of late-1970s American luxury engineering.
Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.

Today, we’ve got a hearse! Say hello to this 1936 Packard Henney Hearse Custom that’s undergone a comprehensive restoration and restomod effort to turn it into what you see today. Built on a 160-inch wheelbase Packard commercial vehicle frame, this stunner has traveled just 9,705 miles on its new engine. Don’t let the little niggle of its former life transporting the eternally resting bother you; a little Google searching will reveal that hearses are ideal for customized vehicles, and as far as we know, no-one has reported being haunted while driving one.

Jaguar Cars of Britain is well known for making some fine sporting machines during its long history. Before we had examples such as the breathtaking E-Type, or XK-E in North America, machines like the XK120, XK140 and XK150 ruled the roost. These were fine sports cars meant to embody the spirit of driving, and targeted at those who desired the best blend of luxury and driving pleasure. Between 1954 and 1957, it was the turn of the XK140 which brought more interior space as well as upgraded mechanicals over the XK120 which it replaced. A total of 8,937 cars was made during this time, with just 1,959 fixed-head coupes produced in left-hand drive. That makes this 1956 Jaguar XK140 one of 1,959 units, a statistic that places it in greater rarity than some supercars! If you’d like to be its next custodian, this 3.4-liter machine awaits your kind consideration in New Albany, Ohio.
