    1949 Packard Custom EightThis Custom Eight Series, two-door, six-passenger, convertible Packard is one of only 60 produced. It weighs 4,530 pounds and sold for $4,295.

    The current owner had admired the Packard for many years. As a child, his uncle owned one and he was enamored with its quality and style. When he found this car sitting in a field, he knew he had to have it. He acquired the car and sent it to Prueitt Automotive Restoration for an extensive frame-off restoration. The vehicle has received numerous awards since restoration.
