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.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a maroon paint job, this 1949 Packard 8 Restomod looks extremely regal with its flowing lines, two-tone theme and ample chrome detailing. Chrome was an indicator of luxury at the turn of the twentieth century, and that belief endured for several decades. Another indicator of luxury was whitewall tires, which this car proudly proclaims upon its chrome hubcapped wheels. The beige interior of this 1949 Packard 8 Restomod features plushly upholstered beige seats, an aftermarket steering wheel and retro-styled modern gauges. It’s also got air conditioning, a pleasant surprise and something that will definitely encourage you to drive this car more frequently. The interior offers generous space for front and rear-seat occupants, while an Alpine radio with cassette tape player means that you can enjoy some music too. Pop the trunk and you’ll find a matching spare wheel with whitewall tire and chrome hubcap!
Engine
This 1949 Packard 8 Restomod has got a V8 under the hood. We’re not sure about the displacement of the carbureted unit, but suffice to say, it’ll do. An automatic transmission powers the rear axle, making this car not only easy, but rather pleasant to drive too.

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.
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.
This 1952 Packard Henney Junior Ambulance represents a rare piece of American emergency vehicle history, serving as Pilot/Prototype Serial No. 3 of only three 1952 pilot models produced. Developed through a collaboration between Packard Motor Company and John W. Henney & Company, the Junior Ambulance was designed as a smaller and more economical alternative to traditional full-size ambulances. According to the provided documentation, this vehicle carries the unusual 25th Series Packard chassis designation (Model 2533) and was one of the earliest examples built before production continued into the 1953 and 1954 model years. Powered by Packard’s 288ci “Thunderbolt” inline-eight engine and featuring its original military-inspired configuration, this example served with the United States Air Force before spending decades in storage. With approximately 35,585 miles shown, this Henney Junior Ambulance stands out as a historically significant prototype with documented military service, coachbuilt construction, and unique features including its distinctive rooftop ventilator.

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 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 253ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
The 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster captures a fascinating moment in postwar American motoring, blending Jeep-derived simplicity with the open-air style of a roadgoing convertible. Showing 75,749 miles, this example is finished in Yellow over a Black interior and is powered by a 161ci Lightning L-head inline-six paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and rear-wheel drive. Its tall chrome grille, split windshield, external spotlights, rear-mounted spare, and wide-open bodywork give it a look unlike almost anything else from the era. The column-shift manual and overdrive setup add to the vintage driving experience, while the black convertible top makes it equally suited to sunny cruises or more traditional touring. For an enthusiast looking beyond the usual postwar coupes and sedans, the Jeepster delivers personality in abundance.
