The Eighteenth Series Packards were introduced on August 8th of 1939, well ahead of other manufacturers' introductory dates. Power came from a 282-cubic inch straight eight offering 120 horsepower. These Junior models received new cylinder heads for improved aspiration, although their horsepower remained the same. The Convertible Sedan was priced at $1,573 which included a leather interior. A total of 28,138 One-Twenties were produced in 1940 over nine different body styles.
This particular example is a triple-black Convertible Sedan that has recently been released from two decades in a private collection in California. Before moving to the West Coast, the car spent time in the mid-1980s with collector Dino Drosas, from South Carolina, before passing in 1987 to Jim Sweeney, from Massachusetts and Florida, who commissioned a cosmetic restoration that was carried out in the mid-1990s.
The car has a dash clock, a DeLuxe steering wheel, fog lights, bumper guards in the front and rear, and dual side-mounted spares with full metal covers, including correct decorative spears and pedestal mirrors. The correct original jack is also included.
The car has been treated to a restoration and has accumulated fewer than 3,000 miles since that time.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2014
