7-5-20 1941 PACKARD CELLARETTE ENCOUNTER
David E. McGahey, of Pampa, Texas owned a 1941 Packard One Eighty, Body 1442, that was equipped with a Cellarette refreshment bar. Images of the bar are in this Forum, #20, 10-14-16.
According to my cousin, Annette Simons Story, she and her husband, Jim, visited Jim's stepfather, Mr. McGahey in the Texas panhandle town of Pampa in 1977. Located in his storage building, he drove them for a short ride.
She recalled:
1. The exterior color was a dark blue or black.
2. The interior was roomy enough for her 6'6" husband.
3. Mr. McGahey, called Dave by her husband Jim, brought out two clear liquor containers that he kept in storage to prevent damage while driving the Packard.
4. The Cellarette had four drop-down doors.
5. The freezer compartment was in the lower left compartment.
6. Mr. McGahey bought the badly deteriorated car from California some time in the 1970s, then restored it himself. He also restored an unknown year Dusenberg.
Unfortunately no photos or records can be found, as Mr. and Mrs. McGahey and her husband, Jim, are deceased.
Does anyone remember Mr. McGahey or his 1941 Packard?
