You can't realize how far Packard had fallen until you drive the 49 Caddy 75. It is a true classic. It's the 48 75 body with the modern OHV V-8. On the road it is like riding in a Pullman on the finest track.

While the Custom 8 is wonderful for its smoothness and even feels like a more modern car, the 49 Caddy 75 truly lives up to being the standard of the world.
