1940 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe

The original owners of this Canadian-built 1940 Packard 120 purchased the car on January 2, 1940, for $2,095 (CN). Mr. Buchanan was the general manager of Cominco Mining in Trail, British Columbia, which manufactured the 'heavy water' for the atomic bombs used at the end of World War II. The Packard was built/assembled at the Packard plant in Windsor, Ontario, directly across the Detroit River from the United States plant. Many of this Packard's engine components are marked 'Made in Canada,' and the factory radio preset buttons have been preserved with their Canadian station call letters. The current owners acquired the car in 2012, bringing it from Vancouver, BC, to Atlanta, GA, where it underwent a comprehensive restoration. Only 20 to 25 drivable examples exist of this rare body style, out of the original 1,761 produced.
