VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | Bought from Vintage Motor Cars in Ohio. Last owner was a Dan Hanlon of Naples, FL Sales description was not accurate as I had to spend $10K+ to bring it close to the described status: "This 22nd series car was restored about 15 years ago and is in excellent condition. The leather and cord interior is flawless. All gauges work, as do the power windows, power seat and power top. The radio works nicely. Chrome is excellent however the paint is showing its age. Twin spot lights and twin outside mirrors are also present. The car sports new BF Goodrich Silvertown radials. The following work has been done: Radiator reconditioning, New clutch and brake pads, New front king pins, New fuel pump. All new wheel cylinders, Complete new dash and engine wire harness, New battery, All 5 wheels refinished, new hubcaps and beauty rings. Many other repairs have been done the complete list is available upon request. This early 1949 Packard Super 8 Convertible represents one of only 4025 examples produced marking the end of the Super 8 Series. Unique cars of this caliber are quickly appreciating in the collector car market. We encourage any potential buyer to call with any questions." The tires are quite old and need to be replaced as one of my last projects. Spent another $5K on a major tuneup with Marco Island Automotive. It now (Sep/Oct 1921) runs like it should. Paint is new as of 2019. | ||||
