- hôte :
e-bay,
le fameux site d'enchères aux USA qui comprend
toujours entre 1 et 2 millions d'objets à
enchérir. C'est celui aussi qui a acheté
notre iBazar national avec ses 4 à 600 mille
objets aux enchères et qui est devenu
ebay.fr
- voitures
américaines : il y en a toujours beaucoup avec
de superbes photos sur le site
américain.
Le site
français
propose en général entre 2 et 4 pages
d'objets et de voitures avec une certaine modestie pour
les photos. Ceci va sans doute changer

- 1941 Packard Super 8
Model 160
- The Model 160 is a
recognized classic by the Classic Car Club of America.
This is a Senior Series Packard. In 1941, Packard made
the 110 which was a 6-cylinder, the 120 which was a 282
cubic inch 8-cylinder developing 120 horse power. The
Super 8 Model 160 which is what we have here was a 356
cubic inch engine developing 160 HP - that's 40 more HP
than the standard 120 8-cylinder. The car is a fine
example and a rare find. The car was delivered new to
Bardsall-Stockdale Motor Company in Colorado Springs, CO.
The date of the delivery was 4/28/41.
- Two appraisal books
have been included below. Note that the Old Cars Price
Guide that has just come out prices the deluxe
convertible in #1 condition at $74,000, # 2 condition at
$51,800. The N.A.D.A. book appraises the 1941 Packard
Convertible at low, average, and high. High is $78,200,
Average is $55,900, and Low is $38,700.
- If you're a Packard
collector, you know that the appraisal guides are rarely
kind to Packard. Packard sells for much more that what
the appraisal guides generally call them at. This is
simply because Packard never built that many cars, and
they were in fact the premier luxury car in the pre-War
years.
- We've seen Packard
convertibles sell for well over $100,000. This is a Model
160. You rarely ever see a Model 160. There were not very
many of them made, and very few survived.
- The car is painted
Packard creme/yellow. The car was restored about 25 years
ago and the restoration is still in very good shape. This
car has been stored and used sparingly for the last 20
years. The chrome is very good and very presentable,
there's no pits or peeling in the bumpers or the grill.
The car's equipped with dual side-mounts with script
Packard mirrors and skirts. I'm not sure that the skirts
were a factory accessory, they may have been an
after-market accessory, but they're a pleasant addition
to the flowing lines of this Packard 160.
- The hood ornament
(see picture below) is the Dutch Darrin designed ornament
that was designed for the Darrin that was built that
year. The Darrin was built on the 160 chassis using a 160
convertible like this to do that. The dual side-mounts
are topped with Packard script mirrors, very fashionable
for the time. It's equipped with a radio and a clock and
a heater. The radio and clock are both in place and in
good shape but neither are functional at this time. The
chrome in the dashboard is in very good condition. The
leather interior is genuine red leather. This Senior
Model a full back seat, not a jump seat like the lesser
models. The top is a tan cloth top. It's a vacuum
operated top. The steering wheel is in such good shape
that I have to think it's been redone. It's a banjo type
wheel, the correct steering wheel for the car. This is a
very, very correct car. It's a correct engine, has a 3
speed overdrive, fog lights, and 3 horns, the kind of
trumpet horn that Packard used at the time - this is the
correct 1941, original horns
- The trunk is done in
red rug. The original jack is wrapped in the canvas carry
case that the dealer supplied. On the carry case is the
name of the dealership. The dealer was a dual dealer, he
handled Packard and Pontiac, and on the bag it says
Bardsall-Stockdale Motor Company, Colorado Springs, CO,
Packard and Pontiac.
- The paintwork on the
car is very presentable, but it really would have to be
redone for show. There's some mild cracking in the corner
panels well, you have to look hard to see it. The running
boards appear to be new, probably from Steele Rubber
products. The boot of course is new, was redone when the
car was redone. And like most Packards, it shifts like
butter and steers like a baby-buggy. It's a pleasure to
drive! Thank you for the interest in the Packard, bid to
own it - it's for sale!
