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. Chrysler and Saratoga insignia and logos grace the nose of the car. The side profile of the car reveals more chrome trim, including the line that runs the length of the car, side mirrors, door handles, and side steps. As you step into this 1940 Chrysler Saratoga, the tan interior fitted with cloth bench seats greets you. The banjo-style steering wheel takes center of attention while the wooden dash boasts white dials with chrome frames. You also get a Kenwood radio to entertain.

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.

Many of our customers are familiar with the Cadillac automotive brand name. This luxury vehicle division of General Motors is going strong to this day, offering buyers options ranging from sedans to SUVs. However, with this listing, we are going back in time where Post-War Luxury was a thing. There’s always a brilliant, rich story that comes with cars like this. Fleetwood Metal Body was an automobile coachbuilder founded in the early 1900s that was acquired by GM in 1925. As Cadillac became more selective in offering bodies after 1934, this well-preserved 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is worth adding to your classic collection. This gem awaits in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its next lucky buyer.
The Packard Motor Company of Detroit is yet another one of those great American automakers who fell by the wayside as automotive brands converged and conglomerated in the ’50s and ’60s. Before World War II, Packard was well-regarded for producing luxury automobiles, and after the War, they maintained their luxury car lineup. Things came to a halt in 1962 when they merged with Studebaker, and the Packard name died away. However, you can still find a classic Packard around if you look hard enough. Here’s a 1951 Packard 300 up for sale, with a complete restoration on it, and even a reprint of the original owner’s manual included with the sale. There are still a few more things to be done to make this car concourse-fresh, but these are easily addressed, minor foibles that you can put right in a jiffy – the hard work has already been done during the restoration.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
