The Packard Motor Company was one of the oldest American automobile manufacturers. Founded by the Packard Brothers in 1899, it quickly established itself as a luxury brand at the forefront of providing cutting-edge features at the time. Sadly, the company merged with Studebaker, and the brand became defunct by 1958. That's why cars like this 1940 Packard One-Ten are essential pieces of American automotive history and are highly sought after as a result. This example is in excellent condition and would be a lovely addition to any discerning classic car enthusiast's garage.
A dark red paint job beautifully brings out the Forties design of this 1940 Packard One-Ten. Look closer, and some lovely details come to light, including the amber fog lamps mounted on the beautifully chromed front bumper, the dainty rear quarter lights, and the split-screen rear windshield. Rolling on white wall tires wrapped around brown rims with chrome hubcaps reading "Packard 110", you can see that no expense has been spared in keeping this 1940 Packard One-Ten true to its roots. The level of meticulous attention is simply astounding. Before we enter the cabin, let's take a moment to gaze upon the Packard hood ornament, itself looking slightly glazed, but that adds a stroke of patina to remind us that this car is eighty-three years old, yet going strong. Now, it's time to enter the interior, which features a black dash and dark brown bench seats. The door cards feature a mouse-fuzz type of material, signaling the luxury positioning of this car at a time when you were lucky to have door cards. A speedometer faces the driver, surrounded by auxiliary gauges, while the clock faces the passenger. The spartan center console hosts some switches that we presume are for lights and wipers. That's it, really.
Powering this 1940 Packard One-Ten on its merry way is a 245ci (4.0L) in-line six-cylinder that sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual gearbox with column shifting. Braking is accomplished via drum brakes on all wheels. Don't ask us how fast it is, as a classic like this is meant to be driven in a gentle, stately fashion.

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.
There’s very little that can raise an eyebrow at ECT. After all, we’ve handled the sale of myriad unusual vehicles, including overlanders, ice cream trucks, and even a Batmobile replica. 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.
