The Packard One-Twenty, also known as Packards 'junior' Six, accounted for the bulk of Packard's sales. 1938 was the second year for independent front suspension (via wishbones and coil springs) and hydraulic brakes. These features greatly improved drivability making them great for driving tours.
This example is finished in cream with green wheels and matching pinstripe. The car has an older restoration, rides on wide whitewall tires, and has chrome trim rings and small hub caps. The twin side-mount spares have the correct metal covers and the tan canvas top is in good condition. The interior is tan leather and the odometer shows 18,500 miles.
In 2010, this Super 8 Convertible Coupe was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook event presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $75,000 - $100,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $90,750, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
