30-Years-Family-Owned 1952 Packard 250 Convertible Coupe

Description

Released in 1951, the Packard 250 Convertible Coupe was the marque's only soft-top offering. It utilized a 122-inch wheelbase chassis from the entry-level Packard 200 but received the Packard 300's 327 cubic-inch straight-eight engine, which received a 5-horsepower increase for 1952, for a factory-rated 155 horsepower when paired with the two-speed Ultramatic automatic transmission. The 250 also featured “Easamatic” power brakes, semi-elliptical rear springs, three chrome louvers on each rear quarter panel, a chrome “tooth” grille, and a cormorant hood ornament.

This ‘52 Packard convertible was reportedly refurbished by the seller’s grandfather approximately 30 years ago, and at that time, the car was repainted in its factory shade of Turquoise Blue Light (S), and its interior was retrimmed in turquoise and white leather. Power is supplied by a 327ci straight-eight paired with a Packard Ultramatic two-speed automatic transmission, and additional details include a white soft top, a red-painted dashboard, a continental spare tire carrier, 15” steel wheels, and whitewall bias-ply tires.

This 1952 Packard 250 Convertible Coupe is now offered with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
