1935 Packard 1204 Super Eight Phaeton

This 1935 Packard Super Eight Five-Passenger Phaeton is the third of this style built. Its current owner has retained the car in his California-based collection for the past thirty-four years. While in the collection it has been well maintained and received continuous care. It wears an older restoration that still shows well in modern times. It is painted in light Primrose Yellow with dark brown wire wheels and a beige convertible top. There are a full set of side curtains for use in all kinds of weather conditions. The car includes dual enclosed side-mounted spare tires with dual rearview mirrors and a rear-mounted luggage rack. The interior of the car is brown leather upholstery and side panels, matching carpet, a radio, 'suicide'-type front doors, and a fold-down center armrest.

In 2008, this car was brought to the 2nd Annual Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $140,000-$180,000. Bidding reached $91,000 but was not enough to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. The lot was left unsold.
