1940 PACKARD 180 FORMAL SEDAN TOWN CAR Of the 76,927 vehicles Packard produced in 1940, the ultra-luxurious 180-Series cars numbered only 1,900. Of those 1,900, only two Formal Sedan Town Cars are known to exist. This incredible car comes from the collection of Jim Hollingsowrth, the author of "1940 Packard's," and preeminent Packard expert. Upon acquiring this car in 1977, Mr. Hollingsworth decided to recreate the storied Rollston conversions of long past and transform this Formal Sedan into an All Weather Cabriolet, otherwise known as the Town Car. The painstaking work was performed by Jimi Ala at a cost of $80,000 and upon its completion, Mr. Hollingsworth was satisfied that his end product was indistinguishable from the original Rollston cars. The car comes with documentation of the work performed and signed affidavit by Mr. Hollingsworth. This is one of the most extensively documented and pedigreed Packard's available anywhere.
