1937 Packard Business Coupe Restomod

Description

Packard's famous slogan, "Ask the man who owns one" still applies with this full custom build. After all, with slick modern paint, upgraded V8, overdrive transmission, updated suspension, luxury A/C interior, and much more, there are going to be a ton of people who want to know more about this one-of-a-kind 1937 Packard Business Coupe restomod.

The body is a terrific mix of vintage style and modern flair. Packards of this era instantly commanded respect with the bright and tall grille. They are a first-class design with body lines that are artfully allowed to develop. Just look at the crease that begins with a point on the hood and runs until it gently fades away above the rear fender – that's pure rolling sculpture. But there's much more going on here. You're looking at the product of a full restoration/transformation that's only about a decade old. It has a great classic style on everything from the chrome pumpers to the two-piece wheels with whitewalls, but there's also an upgrade in personality. The burgundy paint has a nice metallic flair that they could have never delivered in the '30s. And those dual exhaust tips hint at more power under the hood.

Open the door to a full custom interior. This has a great burgundy look that's now accompanied by light tan trim. So it has the same appeal of the exterior paint and whitewall tires. The leather seats have terrific modern bolstering for individual comfort, and yours even power adjusts to the ideal position. There's plenty of classic appeal on everything from the banjo-style steering wheel to the Packard 8 trim on the dash. But you can also instantly tell this one has been upgraded for modern comfort. There's controls for modern air conditioning on the dash, and the rear panel now has an AM/FM/CD stereo integrated. Plus, the Ididit tilt steering column gives you a clear view to the full TPI Tech upgraded gauge package.

With a restomod you want serious power in a compact package, and none do it better than a Chevy 350 crate V8. And they paid special attention to add enough shining components so that you'll love to show this off. Plus, the Walker aluminum radiator w/electric fan helps keep this running cool even in traffic while the A/C is pumping. This is starting to sound like a true cruiser, right? That's why you also have a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive comfort, power steering, and an upgraded Fatman Mustang II-style independent front suspension. There's even a four-wheel disc brakes package for superior stopping power.

Complete with build receipts, this Packard represents the ultimate unique and premium vintage coupe. Don't let something so distinct end up in someone else's garage, call today!
