Details

Has been a one family owned car until recently. A thorough and correct restoration has been completed on this lifelong California car. It drives perfectly. The quality and handsome design features of the 1941 Packard 120 were recognized by the prior owners of this convertible coupe. There were only two owners, both in California, and in fact the car has a letter from the family of the original owner documenting the one family ownership until recently. The car was treated to a thorough, careful, correct restoration by the more recent of them. Thorough modern design characterized the 1941 Packards including reducing the wheel diameter to 15', eliminating running boards and blending the headlights into the pontoon front fenders for the first time on a Packard. The 120, or 'One-Twenty' as Packard preferred to call it, was the heart of Packard's 1941 offering. Powered by Packard's 282cid Inline 8 which developed 120hp and riding on a 127' wheelbase. 17,100 One-Twentys were built. By far the most sporting was the convertible coupe and this is a beautifully presented example in Light Yellow with Light Brown leather interior, a black cloth top and matching top boot. It has wide white wall tires, bright wheel trim rings, radio, clock and front bumper over riders to protect the tall elegant Packard grille. The paint, interior, chrome and glass all have been redone to very high standards with particularly thoughtful attention paid to the engine bay, firewall and detailing under the hood.
