Description of 1939 Packard |
1939 Packard Rumble Seat Coupe
Overall, this is an exceptional find in a very rare Packard Twelve Coupe. The original production number of the "1238 Twelve 2/4 Coupe" is extremely low and it has been estimated that only 12 were built. This is #1238-2004. The owner was an avid member of the collector car community and used this car not only to show but also took it on tours such as the Classic Car Club of America's "Wilderness Caravan" in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan (as a side note, he received the Distinguished Service Award from this organization). This one has been stored since the owners passing in 2008 and will require the proper attention to bring it back to the excellent driving quality that the owner experienced prior to it being parked. The family has decided to offer this Packard in 'as is" condition. When parked after his passing, there were no known mechanical defects or deficiencies. He always maintained his cars with a passion. Without any attempts to start, run, or drive, it was put on a flatbed and trucked to us to sell for the estate. Based on original lubrication stickers on the A-pillar, the car spent most of its early life in Pasadena, California (where it was sold when new). It was purchased by the recent owner in the mid -1960's. Overall, it is considered to be a "very well preserved original". It has never been restored and even the paint appears to be original with signs of some refinishing based on age, however, no prior damage from accidents or rust was noted. It is believed that the mileage is original at 86,067. You'll note numerous Packard enhancements and accessories. It has the dual side mounted spare tires, rumble seat, rear mounted luggage rack, golf bag storage doors, front grill guard and bumper guards, rear bumper guards, Trippe driving lights, burl-walnut grained instrument panel, Comorant Mascot, and the original Packard Radio and Heater.
