Description:
This 1951 Packard Series 250 convertible is one of 27 survivors in the national Packard club. The car received a complete body-on restoration in 1966 performed to factory specs. The car retains the original motor, transmission, and all parts to keep the car period correct. The car features a 327 ci straight 8 Flathead and Packard's Ultramatic transmission. The convertible top is Packard's Hydro-electric power top for ease of use. It also has a one-off version "Continental spare" that was offered on the Caribbean models. It is believed to be the only one ever made. According to Charles Blackman, the chairman of PAC Technical Standards Commission, the car is believed to be the "highest numbered convertible that there is record of for in 1951" which makes this car possibly the last Packard convertible produced out of the 2000 convertibles that were built.
