This is a rare example of a 1940 Packard 160 Super Eight Touring Sedan. This is a driver or touring quality 160 that has a completely original interior and has had one repaint since new in French Blue. The 1940 senior Packards with overdrive are one of the very best driving CCCA Full Classics. The engine compartment is very clean and in nice condition. It is detailed appropriately for local and regional shows. The venerable 356 CID straight eight nine main bearing engine is considered one of the very best engines of the classic era. With 160 hp, the Packard runs and drives well, and with its optional overdrive is capable of driving all day long at freeway speeds. These are very dependable tour cars and have characteristics much like more modern cars. With its relatively short 127-inch wheelbase, this Packard is more maneuverable and easier to drive. This Packard features its optional heater. The interior is all original. The wool broadcloth is in overall very nice condition. The Packard is complimented with ample chrome throughout, including its Goddess of Speed hood ornament. The chrome and stainless are all original and in nice condition, consistent with the rest of the car and for a 30,000-mile example.
