The Packard 160 Series was built from 1940 to 1942, and this particular 160 Convertible was the last one built before World War II. The attack on Pearl Harbor would cause Packard to shift its focus from building fine automobiles to building aircraft and marine engines in support of the war effort.
The straight-8 356 cubic-inch engine produces 160 horsepower paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Although not available on production cars in 1942, this car is also equipped with dual carburetors believed to have been installed by Packard.
This 1942 Packard 160 Convertible with coachwork by Darrin is believed to have been assigned to Edward McCauley, head of styling for Packard. It has received a body-off restoration by Glenn Shaffer.By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2023
