Vehicle Description 1940 Packard Super 8 160 Convertible Coupe.
Located near PORTLAND, OREGON.
Just 401 Super 8 160 Convertible Coupes were built by Packard in 1940.
This particular car was sold new in Boston, Massachusetts on April 1, 1940 and was owned by the Forbes family, publishers of Forbes magazine.
We are told that young Malcolm Forbes regularly drove this Packard during his years as a student at Princeton University and considered it his favorite car.
It was acquired by the current owner in 2006 and he set out on a full high-point restoration, the results of which can be seen here.
Finished in a great combination of Packard Cream (yellow) body with maroon leather upholstery and black Haartz cloth canvas manual convertible top with maroon piping.
