1941 Packard 110 Touring Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August, all offered without reserve, after emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1941 Packard 110 Touring Sedan embodied Packard's commitment to offering aspirational quality, style, and prestige at a relatively affordable price during the final years before America entered World War II.

Introduced as the entry-level model in Packard's lineup, the four-door Touring Sedan was the most popular 110 body style, providing comfortable seating for five passengers in a well-appointed interior. Though less expensive than Packard's Eight, Super Eight, and Custom Super Eight models, the 110 retained the marque's distinctive styling, including its tall vertical grille and flowing fenders.

One of the last prewar Packards, the 110 was powered by a reliable 245ci L-head six-cylinder engine that was mated to a 3-speed manual transmission with a column-mounted shifter. This one is finished in black with white vinyl and patterned cloth upholstery. The door panels are covered in heavy cloth with wood trim. Additional features include an exterior sun visor, 15” steel wheels with hubcaps, running boards, heavy cloth door upholstery with wood trim, a suicide knob on the steering wheel, Packard Deluxe heater, and clock.

This 1941 Packard 110 Touring Sedan is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with an Alabama registration in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
