During the era of coach built automobiles, Packard was the undisputed leader, selling more cars than all other fine car brands combined. No other manufacturer since has enjoyed such a commanding lead.
Heads of state and captains of industry alike chose Packards for their personal transportation. Many experts consider the 745 to represent the ultimate Packard from this period. Its long wheel base provided the ultimate platform for the custom coach builders of the era to create their finest design. As a result, the long bonnet of the 745 series is highly prized by collectors today.
Although the restoration was completed a number of years ago, a handful of owners have painstakingly maintained the example we have in stock. In particular the previous owner commissioned fairly expensive upgrades to the cars cosmetics to return it to top concourse condition.
Part of a well known collection, the car has benefited from the attention of full-time staff dedicated to the restoration, preservation and maintenance of all the cars in the collection. |
