1940 Packard Custom Super-8 One-Eighty Navigation
This Packard Custom Super Eight One-Eighty Convertible Sedan by Darrin was originally delivered by the Earle C. Anthony showroom in San Francisco on July 19, 1940. Around the early 1950s, it was acquired by Robert D. Ford who retained it until 1965, selling it to Lorin Tryon, longtime co-chair of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Mr. Tryon sold the Packard in 1969 to J.B. Nethercutt, who traded it in 1978 to Tom Barrett. As the car was being carried away on a flatbed to its new home, it was spotted by Walt Shearer of Camarillo. Mr. Shearer began pursuit, and when he was able to stop the truck driver, he learned that the Packard had been traded for the Duesenberg Model SJ 'Twenty Grand.' More importantly, he gained the contact information of the Packard's new owner. With this information, Mr. Shearer was able to call Mr. Barrett and secure the purchase of the Darrin.

The car remained in the Shearer collection until 2000 when it was sold to Henry Petronis of Easton, Maryland. The current owner acquired the Packard in 2016. Shortly thereafter, it was given a concours-level restoration and finished in the year-correct Packard color of Sea Cloud Gray.
