Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

I need some advice. I was asked to restore this 1948 sedan for a gentleman that contacted me. Now, unfortunately he is not in a position to move forward with this project and would like to either have me part out the car or sell it (as a project car). He does not want to see his car end up in a scrap yard as he views it as a piece of US history. The car has a good body and frame with virtually no rusted through body panels. It's mechanicals are all original but in unknown condition as this car has been sitting in Colorado for the last 30 yrs. I have little knowledge on the market for this car and/or contacts for finding sources to aid in this endeavor. He has until mid Dec. to find a good home for his antique. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Is the car still assembled?

Photos would definitely help, the more and the more detailed the better.

Yes the car is fully assembled. I will get the owner to provide me with pictures asap Thx!.

This car has two rear bumpers and a complete interior except for the headliner which is shot. It also has an extra dashboard with odometer and all knobs are there. It was originally sold new in Denver CO and is believed to have never left the state.
