1953 Packard Patrician

Current Ask

SOLD

Packard Motor Car Company, founded in 1899, is another jewel of a brand we lost, leaving only its admirable creations to remember them by. Before World War II, Packard was the dominant luxury car manufacturer. Owning a Packard was a status symbol, and surviving specimens can be seen in museums and car exhibitions. Packard was in strong financial shape to proceed with their new car models after turning 100% of their output to a war production to make aviation engines. As a result, a number of sublime Packard models saw the light of day, including the Packard Patrician, which also became the top-shelf Packard for that year. Today we have none other than a 1953 Packard Patrician for sale in outstanding condition in our inventory. Its odometer reads 35,000 miles and it is housed in California. It has been stated that the seller is unsure if it has been rolled over.

1952 Packard Henney Junior Ambulance

Current Ask

$34,999

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.

1949 Packard Eight Series Touring Sedan

Current Ask

$19,250

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.

1951 Packard 200

Current Ask

$15,999

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.
