Overview of 1940 Packard One-Ten For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
