Before closing out the 1940s, Packard celebrated their Golden Anniversary with a dealer drive-away of 2,000 gold-painted Pacakrds. All of the models received upgraded trim, full chrome front bumpers (the 1948s had painted centers), and center-placed side trim on certain models.
The industry responded to the subtle updates, elegant styling, and diverse line-up of models and body styles, earning Packard its second-largest production year in the company's history.
The Super Deluxe Eight models came standard with full fender skirts, upgraded chrome work similar to the more-expensive Custom models, and an 'eggcrate'-style front grille. Six-hundred and seventy-one examples were the Super Deluxe Eight Victoria Convertible Coupe, and this example wears a Spruce Green exterior color scheme with a tan leather interior and tan cloth convertible top. It is believed to have been an original California car that was given a restoration around 2013. Power is sourced from a 327 cubic-inch L-head inline eight-cylinder engine offering 145 horsepower and paired with a three-speed manual transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2023
