Would you believe that what you see here was first introduced as a sport luxury model? The Chrysler Saratoga was introduced in the late 1930s, and it was Chrysler's second most expensive model.

This is what they like to call a sleeper build. Preserving its beautiful classic look, this Restomod hides a potent powerhouse that can surprise anyone who decides to push the throttle. Its current owner claims that it has only less than 7,000 miles on its odometer. Located in Amarillo, Texas, this Saratoga is ready to become your next conversation starter.
Draped in an alluring bronze paint, this 1940 Chrysler Saratoga turns heads wherever it goes. Its length, width, and exterior curves all give the impression of a comfortable luxury cruiser. The keen eye will notice the subtle green decal that outlines the curves and features of the car. A chrome grille dominated the nose of the car, while a chrome bumper shines bright beneath it.

As you step into this 1940 Chrysler Saratoga, the tan interior fitted with cloth bench seats greets you.

In the place of the standard Chrysler straight eight engine is a 350ci V8 Chevrolet small-block engine. This powerhouse is mated to an automatic transmission and sends power to the rear wheels.

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.
Let us take you back to the ‘50s, an era when some of the most dramatic design features were bestowed upon automotive culture. Our subject car belongs to Dodge, an American automotive brand that is renowned to date. The Royal was introduced in 1954 as Dodge's top trim level. It was a significant model for the company as it partook Chrysler's $100 million "Forward Look" program and saved the company by doubling sales over the previous year. 1959 was the last year for the Dodge Royal, and the advertising theme for that year's product line was "Newest of Everything Great," underlining the brand's focus on innovation and modern style. Our subject Dodge Royal is from its last iteration as well, boasting a reupholstered interior and several upgrades. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, it awaits its new owner.
With its name derived from Monterey Bay, the same inspiration for the famous Monterey Jack cheese, the Mercury Monterey was a full-size automobile by Mercury that was available between 1952 and 1974. Mercury itself, the mid-tier luxury division of Ford sat between Ford and Lincoln, and, sadly, was retired in 2011. So, this is one of those classic American names from a defunct manufacturer. That only adds to the cachet of this 1953 Mercury Monterey. The fact that its maker is no more only adds more to the car’s value, as does its Flathead V8, auto gearbox and mere 1,700 miles. A discerning collector will have no hesitation in snapping up this car, while a budding collector should seriously consider acquiring it sans delay.
