Description

  In the mid 1930's, the Packard Automobile Company found itself a

  producer of fine automobiles that lacked customers. The market

  crash of 1929 had left the automobile market reeling, and the

  hardest hit companies were those who specialized in luxury and

  ultra luxury automobiles. The Packard Six was reintroduced for the

  1937 model year in an effort to help Packard gain market share in

  the affordable mid-size family car arena. This segment was hotly

  contested, and the Packard vied for attention amongst other

  competitive products from Oldsmobile, Desoto, LaSalle and the like.

  The Six was a well-appointed automobile that had distinctive

  styling and excellent reliability. The stunningly gorgeous Packard

  Six cataloged here was delivered new to the Jenkins Motor Co. in

  Cartersville, Georgia. It was kept by the original owner until the

  late 1960's when it was sold to the second owner, and continued to

  be used and enjoyed until it was finally parked in the early 70's.

  It sat in a shed until it was purchased and restored in 1979 by Mr.

  James B. Wagnon Jr. of Chatanooga, Tennesse. This was a complete

  body off restoration with many new parts while other parts were

  cleaned, restored, and reused. This beauty queen has been very

  sparingly used since and looks amazing for an almost fifty-year-old

  restoration. The current owner has recently replaced the water

  pump, fuel pump, carburetor, and brand-new whitewall tires have

  been installed in the name of safety and road worthiness. The

  electrical system has been updated to 12 volts for starting power

  while the system voltage has been limited to 7.8 volts for the

  functionality of the original instruments and lighting. An

  aftermarket digital voltmeter and rpm gauge have been fitted at the

  base of the steering column to assist the driver in monitoring

  these important functions. This classy Packard is an easy driver

  that floats down the road and effortlessly maintains 55+ mph. The

  interior is a wonderful place to be, and the backseat has more room

  than even today's luxury sedans. They sure do not build them like

  this anymore, and that is a shame. This Packard would be a great

  long road trip companion that allows you to see the world through a

  different time period and draws attention wherever you go. Contact
