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.
This stylish 1951 Packard 300 showcases its classic ’50s beauty in a sleek coat of straight black paint. Black was a popular '50s color, before pastel shades and rainbow hues emerged later in the decade. The car rides on four whitewall tires that are radial units rather than cross-plies, so you’ve got more grip and better handling capabilities than the car did when brand new. A canvas-fitted car cover is also included with the sale. The wool interior of this 1951 Packard 300 features front and rear bench seats, an Art Deco-styled dashboard, and few creature comforts as were common during the time. We’re told that there’s a power radio antenna, but the car’s AM/FM radio and electric clock are not functional at the moment. That’s alright, as a competent electronics whiz easily fixes these. However, the car does have a heater so you can take some winter drives if the mood strikes.
This 1951 Packard 300 comes with a 327ci V8 powering the rear wheels through an Ultramatic 2-speed automatic gearbox. The engine breathes through a Carter 2-barrel carburetor. The car is also endowed with drum brakes all round. We’re told that there’s a new 6-volt battery, and that an electric fuel pump has been installed for better reliability.

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.
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.
