Packard 1608 Twelve Brunn All-Weather Cabriolet
1 of 3 Built! In 1938 Brunn was awarded a contract to build a few Touring Cabriolets and All-Weather Cabriolets (Town Cars) for their twelve-cylinder Model 1608 and 1708 chassis (1938-39). Normally 95 percent of series-built production bodies would be shipped to the chassis manufacturer's plant for mounting, but Packard requested that Brunn mount the Cabriolet bodies. Packard shipped the running chassis to Buffalo with a soapbox driver's seat in place and gave Brunn $150 for mounting the bodies. Most of the Brunn Touring Cabriolets were sold by California Packard distributor Earl C. Anthony. This extremely rare example is formerly of the Koll Collection. Less than 100 miles on a complete engine rebuild which was performed by Brian Joseph. Mostly original car including the mint original upholstery from 1938.2018 RM Sothebys : Fort Lauderdale
