Packard introduced their first factory station wagons in 1940 on the six-cylinder 110 and eight-cylinder 120 chassis. Production would last only two years before World War II put production on hold. After the war, Packard offered a new wood-trimmed model, dubbed the Station Sedan. The new model was essentially a Standard Eight Sedan that featured white ash paneling over an all-steel body, a unique semi-fastback roofline, and rear quarter panels. Though it looked like the 'woodies' of old, the wood played a structural role in only the tailgate, which pioneered the two-piece gate that would become a feature of most all 1950s wagons.
Most of the Packard Station Sedans were produced in 1948, with leftovers being renumbered to sell in 1949 and 1950. The wood bodies required proper care and maintenance, which few examples were given. The majority of the Station Sedans produced have not survived.
This example is a 1950 model and is one of the very last delivered. Prior to entering the Kughn collection, the car was given a major restoration, which included the application of new white ash woodwork and a metallic Turquoise Blue exterior finish. Inside, there is tan leather with a wood-grained dashboard and window moldings, as well as tan carpets. It is equipped with a radio and heater and the optional overdrive transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2014
