The Packard Motor Company is one of those great American auto names that you’ve likely never heard of. That’s because they came to be in 1899, but went out in 1956, when they merged with Studebaker. It’s likely your parents themselves may not have heard of the brand either, but your grandparents likely will. They will reminisce about how Packards were luxury cars at the time, owned and driven by the wealthy, and always statement-makers whenever they were seen driving along, or parked in the foyers of swish hotels. Today, you can find out how it feels to have a Packard by acquiring this Stanton-based 1949 Packard 8 Restomod. The car comes with a newer V8 under the hood and has gained an automatic transmission too. This makes it ideal for the generation who never learned to drive stick. We’re told that the frame is from a Cadillac de Ville, and that documentation is included with the sale of the car. One key is also provided.

ASK: $15,999

Miles: 19,720

Estimated: $165.62/mo

Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.
