Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Represented as the matching numbers engine. Stored from 1948-1963, then again until 2000 when it was acquired by Jim Callahan before being restored. Shown at Pebble Beach in 2019, CCCA National First Prize and Premier. Good older paint, chrome, interior and top. Concours restored but could have been better prepared for the auction.
Market commentary
There were a few Twin Six Packards of various vintages in the Amelia auctions but this one is one of the most attractively bodied. It is inherently desirable for tours and events where it will be proudly displayed at the end of the day and is a sound value in this transaction, particularly at an eighth of the price of the 1934 sold later today.
