Packard Forum Index » Packard Vehicles - For Sale, Wanted, Trade

This is a Facebook group of which I am a member. Sometimes, cars get posted here but not on Marketplace. A couple of ads came up today and look interesting:

1942 Eight Club Sedan and 1948 Super Eight Club Sedan. Posting states cars were stored in a barn since about 1974. Both need restoration but look to be quite solid and complete. I think the '42 is quite interesting and appears to be well worth saving. Seller asking $4K for both cars. Unfortunately, they are located in Alberta, Canada, so they are in a remote area. From the photos, it looks like these cars are literally in the middle of nowhere. But the scenery does look impressive. Wonder how two Packards ended up here:

1949 (23rd Series) Super Eight Touring Sedan, Model No. 2382. Solid original unrestored car that has been in storage for many years. Car has been in the same family since new. Grandson recently inherited from late grandfather but lacks the financial means and skills to tackle a restoration. Unfortunately, the interior is really trashed; probably due to rodent infestation. Headliner and rear seat are chewed to shreds. Body looks exceptionally straight however, and it has a nice accessory sunvisor. Located in Chesterfield, VA. Asking $3,900:

I can't view the facebook listings but would be interested in seeing photos of the Alberta cars. Perhaps one of our local club members would be interested.
