1940 Packard Six, One-Ten, & 115

This 1940 Packard One-Ten is a Series 1800 Model 1389 convertible coupe that was purchased by the seller’s father in 1980 and was inherited by the seller in 1999. A subsequent refurbishment was completed in 2006. The car is finished in yellow over tan upholstery, and power comes from a 245ci inline-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Features include chrome bumpers with overriders, a tan soft top, a four-spoke steering wheel, an AM radio, a heater, and a clock. This Eighteenth Series Packard is now offered with service records, a car cover, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The body is finished in yellow and features chrome bumpers with overriders, a Goddess of Speed hood ornament, an antenna, running boards, and a tan soft top. The driver’s door handle will require adjustment according to the seller. The body-color steel wheels were repainted under the seller’s ownership, and they are mounted with Coker Classic whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel is stowed in the trunk. The One-Ten rode on a 122″ chassis and featured a coil-sprung independent front suspension along with a live rear axle with leaf springs. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel hydraulic drums. The cabin features front and rear benches trimmed in tan upholstery along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Equipment includes a painted woodgrain dashboard, an AM radio, a heater, and a locking glovebox door. Cutoff switches for the battery and fuel pump are mounted under the dash. The clock does not work. The replacement four-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring, and it frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under the seller’s ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 245ci inline-six was factory rated at 100 horsepower. Corrosion is noted on the engine block. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
