1941 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty Convertible Limousine

1941 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty Navigation
Often it is the provenance of a full classic automobile that really makes it stand apart. This full classic 1941 Packard 1907 Convertible Limousine with body by Rollson is a true one-off custom. It is believed to be the very last custom convertible body produced by Rollson, and the largest.

This fine automobile was purchased new by Colonel Parmalee Prentice and his wife, the youngest daughter of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller. After several years of ownership, they would sell the car to another member of the Rockefeller family, who eventually sold it to Bill Harrah.

A long list of unique features makes this Packard truly unique. Among them is the rear-mounted speedometer, allowing the Colonel to enforce the Prentice Estate speed limit of 25 miles per hour. You see, Colonel Prentice owned several large estates, and excessive speed was not tolerated. It also has a rear divider window assuring the family's privacy. Also of note is that Colonel Prentice ordered all of the Packard scripts to be omitted. This would include the deletion of the logos on all areas of the car, including the 'hex' logos on the wheel covers. Colonel Prentice did not want to advertise that the car was a Packard.

With a mere 27,000 original miles, it remains nearly all original, as delivered to the Colonel in 1941, right down to the initials on the rear doors. This is one of as many as ten American-made custom coach-built automobiles that were owned by Colonel Prentice.
