Vehicle Description 1949 Packard Station Sedan, Packard joined the Woody market after the war with its Station Sedan.
Built on the 22nd series platform this is a steel bodied car with the wood attached, except the tail gate which is on a wood frame.
This '49 is a 20-year-old cosmetic restoration with very good paint, big chrome and interior.
The engine was not rebuilt and when I bought it, I expected to do a rebuild.
But, after I drove it a while, I found the 288 c.
i.
in-line 8 runs and starts well.
It burns a little oil but is so smooth that I decided to leave it alone.
Three speed manual transmission provides plenty of torque for the 130 h.
p.
The small exterior chrome handles and light frames have not been rechromed and would need it for a show quality car.
There are two non-original brackets on the tailgate that were there when I bought the car.
The entire back section is very solid.
The speedometer and odometer do not work.
It shows 58,500 miles but that is not correct.
The dashboard wood graining is spotted and showing its age.
Topping it off is the majestic Cormorant hood ornament that projects Packard elegance.
The interior is period correct and in great shape.
Packard Sylvan Green is a great complement to the Northern maple wood trim.
This is a fun driver and definitely will be the only one you'll see at any car gathering.
