produced under the watchful eye of master stylist Raymond Dietrich while it was under construction at the Murray Body Works, where all these large senior series open Packards were being built. According to research on this splendid Phaeton it was sold new during the latter part of 1936 in Pennsylvania and retained by the original owner for 16 years, when it was sold to an early collector of these classic Packards in 1952. For the next 47 years it was rarely used until it traded hands again in 1999 where it was treated to a much deserved complete professional restoration. This car was sold in 2004 at the AACA meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania and changed ownership once again in 2008. Since its restoration, the car has been used very sparingly showing just over 500 miles on the odometer, and those are since its restoration was completed. Finished in Thistle Green with matching leather seats, including the rear-folding jump seats, and a tight fitting tan canvas top, this Packard is the epitome of grand motoring from an age gone by. The fit and finish on this car is impeccable from the
flawless paint to the deep and reflective chrome bright work. It has been stored in a climate controlled facility since acquired by our current consignors, and exercised on a regular basis. Listening to the engine is like hearing the purr of a lion ready to get out on the road. We understand that it runs out quite nicely with an easy start and a tight clutch assisting in effortless shifting. This beautiful Packard is appointed with the streamlined Goddess of Speed mascot atop the radiator surround, driver’s side spot light and collapsible trunk rack to the rear. As with all senior series Packards from this era this car is not only recognized by all Packard organizations, but is also considered a “Full Classic” by the Classic Car Club of America and would make an excellent touring vehicle. While the restoration is 10 years old, this car still shows quite well and would be a welcomed addition at any major exhibition of the finest in quality automobiles. Also, from our research it appears that this may be the only Series 1402 Touring Phaeton to have survived, making this indeed, a most unique opportunity to own a grand lady of the road.
