1940 Packard 180

Home away from home

I saw this 1940 Packard 180 listed on ebay with Orlando Classic cars I wondered if anyone knows of this car or its history. It was sold new in Boston.

That is one beautiful dash, looks just like my 1939 Super 8!

Well after having my best offer on that 34 super 8 turned down. I decided to go down and at least look at it. Well this car exceeded my expectations so now I own it! The car drove like a champ the chrome gleamed and the interior looked great.

Do you mean it drove like a Studebaker Champion? I believe that's where the expression came from! No, really, I knew what you meant but it stuck my odd funny-bone. Anyway, congratulations!

I may be mistaken, but I vaguely recall that car being traded to a Lexus dealer in Orlando area about 3 years ago. I very nearly bought it...was a nice car but the dealer was looking for me to buy pronto or they were going to wholesale it out...which I understood...not many people looking for a used Packard at a Lexus dealer.
