Back in the golden age of motoring, driving a Packard told the world that you were a discerning driver. The company was known for its luxurious offerings. Before the war, they had competed with Cadillac for being known as the pinnacle of American luxury. The Packard name has long stood for quality and luxury, with the company carving out a niche for themselves in the upmarket car game. This 1948 Packard DeLuxe Eight Sedan was part of the Packard lineup during the post-World War II era. The Sedan featured a streamlined design language typical of other luxury sedans of the era. Inside, there was copious space, with rear-seat comfort and luggage capacity two key design factors. Our featured car is powered by a 288ci inline-8 engine and is reported as an all-original example.
The black exterior of this 1948 Packard DeLuxe Eight Sedan exudes the kind of elegance that would have been appreciated by the traditional Packard buyer in the ’40s. You’ll notice the silhouette is streamlined, with designers understanding and implementing their understanding of aerodynamics. Up front are a prominent hood ornament and large chrome grille, with all-consuming intakes and a prominent bumper with over-riders. The streamlined design incorporates hidden rear wheels for the Sedan, which on our featured car are wrapped in white wall tires. Inside, there’s a reportedly tan leather interior, with a wide bench seat up front and individual rear seating at the back, featuring a retractable center armrest. The controls are simple and laid out, with a large steering wheel, column-mounted gearshift, and controls for the car’s ventilation in the center.
While Packard is known for their legendary straight-eight engine — a configuration that is unheard of today — the owner reports that this car features a 288ci inline-8 motor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission, and the owner reports that all maintenance has been kept up to date.

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.

If you wanted luxury like no other, and to blend with those high social classes back in the 1930s a Packard was the way to go. They were often referred to as the pre-eminent luxury car before World War 2 struck. Owning a Packard even today is a treat and a sure-fire head turner when you are out and about on those leisurely drives. Whilst a convertible is typically a two-door, why not go for a rare bird in the shape of this 4-door convertible 1938 Packard Eight Series 1601 from Pennsylvania? This can be your way of turning back the clock with class and sheer luxury.

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.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents the height of the Fox-body 5.0 era, a time when affordable American V8 performance dominated the streets and the “5.0” badge became a cultural icon. The 1987 refresh brought updated aero styling and improved cylinder heads, helping the High Output 302 earn its legendary reputation. This example shows over 104,000 miles and comes accompanied by a Marti Report, offering documented authenticity and production details that serious collectors appreciate. Finished in Oxford White over a striking Scarlet Red interior and paired with a 5-speed manual, this convertible captures the pure, analog driving experience that defined late-1980s muscle, delivering the unmistakable look, sound, and feel that made these cars instant classics.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
