1954 Packard Pacific
"Smartest, most luxurious hardtop of the new season" This 1954 Packard was a window display car.
The car was professionally repainted in 1993 and the chrome redone. The engine bay was also refurbished. It is otherwise an unrestored original car that still has all of the factory original interior (carpet, dash, upholstery, etc) and now shows 40k actual miles on the odometer. The car still runs and drives just about like a new one. Just about looks like a new one too! One of the nicest examples of this model you'd hope to find.Features:· Engine: 359ci 8 Cylinder (4 Barrel Carburetor/aluminum head/212 HP)· Transmission: Ultra-Matic (2 speed automatic with lock up converter)· Electrical System: 12 volts (and converted to alternator)· Factory Power Steering · Factory Power Brakes · Factory Power Seat· Production Figure for this model: 1,189· Wheelbase: 122 inches · Fuel economy: 13-16 mpg· Weight: 4,220· Overall Length: 211.4 inches· 0-60 Time – 12.2 seconds· Average Car Cost in 1954 – $1,950.00· Average Household Income – $4,000.00· Average Home – $17,500.00· Average Gallon of Gas – $0.22The original engine runs very well, idles smooth, and makes very good power (most powerful straight 8 made!).
The transmission shifts well/smooth at all speeds and the car keeps up at highway speed better than average for this year of car. Doors open and close nicely with a thud. No extra play in the steering, no noises, no leaks, or anything of that sort. VERY easy to steer and stop. The 12 conversion is also a big plus! In addition, a small AM/FM/Bluetooth radio was added under the dash and the wipers were converted to electric. Full service with new fluids just completed. Just a stunning car both inside and out. This Packard has ALWAYS been in a good climate, garaged, and with owners who pampered it. It has a beautiful original dash, steering wheel, horn ring, knobs, and controls as you can see in the photos (which is what you'd expect from a nice original survivor car with low miles). The interior in general is amazing for the age of the car and for being as original as it is. Engine bay and trunk are both clean and detailed. It is a great looking car that you should be proud to take to all your events or just drive for fun and special occasions. Should win a trophy at nearly every show you go to!
