This Packard Twelve Model 1608 was sold new by California Packard dealer Earl C. Anthony Inc. in August of 1938. It is believed that this car was once part of the Harrah Collection before passing through several individuals and then finally joining a noted private collection in 2004. It was given a body-off-frame restoration in 2004 by George Fore of Fore's Restoration. In 1997, it received an AACA First Junior Award in Greenville, South Carolina, followed by Best in Show at the AACA North Alabama Regional show. At Hershey, the Packard received a Senior Class Award, as evidenced by badge number 19D0640, as well as the Joseph Parkin Award for the Eastern Division, an award recognizing the top Packard at the meet. It returned to the show circuit in 1998, scoring perfectly at the CCCA Spring Grand Classic in Palm Beach, Florida in April, where it was awarded Senior Badge number 2134 for the Primary Production class, 1937- 1939. At the Packard Centennial Celebration in Warren, Ohio, the car was awarded Best in Class honors.
It scored 99.75 points at the CCCA Spring Grand Classic in Ormond Beach, Florida, where it earned a second Senior Badge, numbered 2134S. It won Best in Class at the PAC National Meet in Virginia, followed by Best in Class at the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance.
In 2010, this Convertible Sedan was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook event presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $200,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $167,750 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
