Victoria Convertible Coupe

Retaining the award-winning styling of the previous year's models, 1949 Packards were available in Standard, Super and Custom trim levels. Packards in the Super series were powered by a 327-cubic inch straight-eight engine that produced 150 horsepower, making them ideal long-distance tow vehicles. Of the 59,390 Packards built in 1949, just 671 were Custom Convertibles. This example is equipped with an Ultramatic automatic transmission and was repainted its correct original shade of Packard Turquoise during a recent restoration.
