Thats Right! No Reserve on this fantastic 1949 Packard.
Sadly, Hemingway never owned this car but it did spend the last 30 years parked in the famous authors garage. I recently acquired this car from the second owners widow. He purchased the car in 1988 from Volo Auto Museum. Prior to his purchase the car received an exterior paint and all the chrome was restored. Overall she is in very good cosmetic condition. The chrome is pitting in several areas but should polish up nicely. Body is nice, paint shines up very well, believe it or not, all I did was wash her. It would look fantastic with a buff. The interior is in excellent all original condition.
Mechanically she looks very sound. I have not attempted to fire her up but with new fuel and a battery I am sure she will run great.
I have a warehouse of old Packard parts that I will be listing as one lot. A few years ago I purchased a collection that included a 48 Convertible and a 55 Clipper and a room full of parts. Doors, hoods, dashboards, misc chrome. Almost enough to build a car or two.
The car is located in Northbrook Illinois. I can store it here for two weeks or so while the winning bidder makes arrangements to pick it up. She will require a trailer or a tow truck with a winch.
Bid with confidence and bid often. This Packard will make a fantastic driver with very little effort.

UPDATE: Got her running and driving today with ease. Some fresh fuel in the tank, booster pack and some messing with the choke and she now runs and drives.
She runs super smooth, exhaust cleared up in a few minutes, motor sounds great, transmission shifts like it should. With new tires she would make a fantastic driver. Currently the brakes are in-operable but I am sure that is no big deal. If it weren\'t 25 degrees outside I would have spent more time messing with her.
If you would like a video of her running send me a message with your phone number and I will text a few videos. If I can figure out how to load one to youtube, I will post a link here.
Her value just doubled if not tripled. My initial reaction was to end this auction and start another but I think I will just let this one run till the end. Last man standing wins!!!!
