Convertible Sedan
Chassis Num: B602257
 
Sold for $64,900 at 2008 RM Auctions.
1939 was the final year for the V12 Packard production and the Convertible Sedan was their most expensive model offered during that year. This 1939 Packard Twelve Convertible Sedan was recently discovered in California where it wore its 1951 California 'black plate.' It is in mostly original and untouched condition and wears its original paint finish. The body is straight and sound; there are some dings and dents, but no significant damage. The car includes a division window, dual enclosed side-mounted spare tires and a luggage rack. There are steel wheels with hubcaps and trim rings. The interior has leather upholstery, a heater, a defroster, a dash-mounted clock, and a pair of hassocks for the rear seat passengers.

In 2008, this car was brought to the 2nd Annual Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $80,000-$120,000. It was offered without reserve. A high-bid of $64,900 including buyer's premium was enough to secure new ownership. The lot was sold.
