This 1941 Packard 160 Convertible Sedan is powered by a Super 8 356 cubic-inch engine, which produces 160 horsepower. There is a three-speed, column mounted, gearbox and dual sidemounts with metal covers. The car is painted in Roman blue and has matching grey leather interior with tan Harts top and boot. There are wide whitewalls, an original Packard Radio and heater, and a clock. It was restored during the mid-1980s and driven sparingly since that time.

Derham Formal Sedan
Coachwork: Derham

By the late 1930's most American custom coachbuilders had closed their doors. One that remained in business was Derham, in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, which amazingly continued to operate until 1971.

Derham designed and built bodies for many of the Classic automobile manufacturers, including Packard. This formal sedan was one of the most elegant body styles to appear on any automobile chassis.

The Packard 160 and 180 were powered by the famous Packard straight eight engine.

Convertible Sedan

For 1941, Packard's 19th Series, headlights were incorporated into the fenders and the radiator pushed forward, giving the cars a longer appearance. This Packard was purchased new by a college professor in Asheville, NC who later sold it to another professor at Stanford University.

Today, the Deluxe Convertible Sedan is desirable and rare. It was one of Packard's lowest production models in 1941 and only 100 were built (and seven are known to exist today.)

Riding on a 127 inch wheelbase chassis, this Packard is powered by the company's legendary 356 cubic-inch, straight eight motor that develops 165 horsepower. This beautifully restored Packard has been a winner wherever it's been shown.
