Lot details Registration No: BVE 575 Chassis No: 395804 Mot Expiry: Exempt
This splendid-looking period Packard four-door Saloon features such niceties as a chromed radiator mascot and pair of additional driving lights. It is presented in Maroon over Black and trimmed in Beige cloth. Based on Design 1003, it is constructed around a wheelbase of 127in and would have set its first owner back the princely sum of $2,335. In common with the other Packard in this sale, 'BE 575', was acquired in the mid-1990s by the late William O'Donnell as part of his private vehicle collection. It has remained in dry storage for some time and, though we can confirm the engine turns over, there has been no attempt to start it for some five years now. Believed to be complete, this nicely patinated Fifteenth Series Super Eight now seeks a new home. The 1937 model year Super Eights were notable for their all-new independent front suspension and hydraulic braking system.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
