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.

The Packard Motor Company is one of those great American auto names that you’ve likely never heard of. That’s because they came to be in 1899, but went out in 1956, when they merged with Studebaker. It’s likely your parents themselves may not have heard of the brand either, but your grandparents likely will. They will reminisce about how Packards were luxury cars at the time, owned and driven by the wealthy, and always statement-makers whenever they were seen driving along, or parked in the foyers of swish hotels. Today, you can find out how it feels to have a Packard by acquiring this Stanton-based 1949 Packard 8 Restomod. The car comes with a newer V8 under the hood and has gained an automatic transmission too. This makes it ideal for the generation who never learned to drive stick. We’re told that the frame is from a Cadillac de Ville, and that documentation is included with the sale of the car. One key is also provided.

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.
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.
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala represented the final year of one of Chevrolet’s most elegant full-size body styles of the decade, combining sweeping proportions with unmistakable American V8 presence. By this point, the Impala had firmly established itself as one of America’s most popular full-size cars, available in everything from comfortable family cruisers to big-block-powered boulevard bruisers. This 1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible shows approximately 35,353 miles and presents as a beautifully configured open-top cruiser, finished in striking Bolero Red over a Parchment interior with a matching convertible top. With big-block power, upgraded drivability features, and timeless styling, this Impala offers the kind of classic American motoring experience that remains endlessly appealing.
This 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is what happens when a clean SN95 cruiser is transformed into a genuinely serious street machine. While the chassis shows 99,658 miles, the seller reports that the heavily upgraded drivetrain is substantially fresher, with approximately 2,000 miles on the built 347 stroker V8 and fewer than 750 miles on the professionally built transmission. Finished in factory-correct Laser Red Metallic over Saddle with a matching Saddle soft top, this Mustang retains classic mid-1990s convertible charm while packing performance figures that would embarrass many modern muscle cars. With a dyno-reported output of over 450 horsepower at the wheels and more than 510 lb-ft of torque, this is not a casual bolt-on build—it’s a purposefully assembled forced-induction street car for enthusiasts who appreciate old-school supercharged V8 brutality.
The 1965 Ford Mustang GT helped ignite America’s pony car revolution and quickly became one of the most influential performance cars of the 1960s. Combining sporty styling, compact dimensions, and V8 power at an attainable price point, the Mustang transformed Ford’s image overnight and created an entirely new segment in the automotive world. Showing just 18,813 miles, this example is finished in elegant Vintage Burgundy over a black interior and equipped with the highly desirable GT package, complete with a 289ci V8 and 4-speed manual transmission. With its timeless proportions, unmistakable styling cues, and engaging analog driving experience, this first-generation Mustang GT represents the pure essence of mid-1960s American performance motoring.
