　　History: This Packard has a very colorful history. It was special

　　ordered by the Count and Countess of Cacem Portugal. It was also

　　tied to one of the greatest frauds in history! Alvis de Reis, the

　　infamous criminal was photographed and even interviewed in this

　　car, he perpetrated the Portugal Bank Note Crisis. It was then

　　stored in a palace in Lisbon until the late 1960s when a Navy

　　officer bought it. News Flash: The Navy officer found the car on

　　our site and just contacted me! It came back to the US in 1980, the

　　current owner bought it 14 years ago from a man that owned it 35

　　years. It has gone through 3 restorations. The last restoration

　　cost $188,000 and they started with a very nice car.

　　EXTERIOR: It certainly has an impressive presence; it is an example

　　of rolling artwork. Up front stands a tall chrome grill with a long

　　hood behind it. The low cut doors and open cockpit give it the

　　sporty feel. The rolling fenders are home to dual sidemount wheels.

　　The body is in outstanding condition, professionally restored. The

　　paint is polished like glass. The chrome all sparkles. Features

　　include authentic Trippe lights up front, a stone guard protecting

　　the radiator and the Goddess of Speed ornament perched on top. It

　　also has cowl lights and a spotlight. The chrome windshield folds

　　flat, swings open and has a set of wing windows. There is also an

　　optional folding dual windshield for the rear passengers. It has 6

　　restored wire wheels with reproduction white wall tires. The spares

　　have optional painted metal covers and chrome bands. In back is a

　　luggage rack and a fully restored trunk. The convertible top was

　　restored and is wearing Haartz cloth. A full set of new side

　　curtains are included too. To make it a bit for user friendly turn

　　signals were carefully added front and back. An extension was also

　　put on the tail pipe to prevent exhaust from staining the

　　trunk.

　　INTERIOR: Professionally upholstered in glove soft red leather. In

　　back it has refinished burl wood locking compartments and premium

　　carpet. In front is a beautiful wood trimmed dash, the gauges and

　　controls are in excellent shape. Correct laminate and aluminum

　　floor.

　　ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The smooth running straight 8 motor was

　　rebuilt. It's 354 ci and makes 105 hp. It's properly dated to this

　　car, believed to be the original. All the components were restored

　　and beautifully detailed.

　　TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk was restored inside and out.

　　Upholstered in matching Haartz cloth.

　　UNDERSIDE: The underside was carefully prepped and painted. Correct

　　exhaust, semi elliptic leaf springs and lever shocks. Bottom of the

　　motor looks clean. Rebuilt 3-speed transmission.

　　SERVICE: We inspected the car and had the starter rebuilt.

　　CONCLUSION: This is a genuine Classic recognized by the Classic Car

　　Club of America which entitles it to participate in their events

　　including caravans. I said this car is rolling artwork. That's not

　　just because of its beauty but it's also an investment!

　　I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for

　　virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant

　　amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my

　　professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to

　　assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are

　　answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video

　　that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are

　　displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an

　　appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment

　　there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,

　　your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year

　　membership.
