Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1920 Packard Twin 6 Transformable Town Car, with custom Fleetwood coachwork, was reportedly built for A. Atwater Kent. It features a 145-inch chassis, a 424ci 12-cylinder engine, and a 3-speed manual transmission, and sold for $110,000 at auction.
Condition
7
While the car is described as being in excellent running and driving order and having won an award in 2023, it is also stated that it continues to wear its original restoration, likely from the early 1960s. This suggests that while well-maintained, it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition due to the age of the restoration. Therefore, a rating of 7 seems appropriate, indicating overall solid condition with slight wear and the potential need for minor reconditioning to maintain its appearance.
