This Pre-War classic 1937 Packard has been transformed into a high-quality frame-off custom build, combining the elegant lines and presence of a prewar Packard with modern performance, drivability, and comfort.
Power comes from a potent 425-horsepower small-block Chevrolet V8, backed by a 700R automatic overdrive transmission and a 9-inch rear axle with 3.70 gearing. The chassis has been substantially upgraded with tubular front control arms, nylon bushings, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and air-ride suspension, providing improved handling, braking, and ride quality while maintaining the Packard’s commanding road presence.
A stainless-steel exhaust system completes the performance package, while air conditioning provides modern comfort. The interior features glove-leather upholstery, along with power seats and power windows, creating a luxurious environment worthy of the Packard name.
Finished in a rich Hot Pepper Burgundy, this professionally done, older build, presents an impressive combination of classic American luxury and carefully integrated modern technology. With its frame-off construction, powerful Chevrolet V8, overdrive transmission, upgraded chassis, air ride, and upscale interior, this is a distinctive custom Packard built to be enjoyed on the road as much as admired at a show.
