This 1942 Packard Eight Convertible Coupe marks the end of an era—the final Packard built before WWII production halted in December 1941. With only 972 units produced, very few remain today, especially in this concours-level restored condition. From its Goddess of Speed mascot to its art deco dash and factory Bermuda bell, this is a rare, investment-grade Packard that belongs in a world-class collection.
Show it, drive it, preserve it—this Packard is a once-in-a-generation find.
