There is simply no other Packard in existence like this one and with the most amazing story!
Client has a binder with several inches of provenance that is priceless. Every manual,, even items like the War Amps key tag to verify the original California plates still on the car. The jack in the trunk is still in its shipping carton. This car needs to go to a Private Collection of a Museum, it is that nice!

Bought new by Meyer E. Ponteprino of Anaheim California in Dec of 1951. Purchased from Les Thompson's Packard dealership in Fullerton California. We have the thank-you letter from Earle C. Anthony Inc. of Los Angeles, who was the Packard distributor for all of California, thanking Mr. Ponteprino for his purchase.
Standard was Packard's Easamatic power brakes.
Total production of this model was 3795 units. Packard claimed in its ads that this was the "most luxurious car in the world."
One day Mr. Ponteprino left church on a Sunday morning to discover someone had broken the power antenna off of his car. He was so horrified that any person would do that to his beloved new Packard, especially while at church, that he drove it home and put it up on blocks. The antenna was replaced, and he started cleaning and starting the car regularly, but there it sat in his garage -- and when he passed away in 1997, his wife still kept the car.
Amazingly, the Packard still has its original General Whiteway tires with the spare still new in the trunk. The jack is still in its box in the trunk as well. Interestingly, for 1951-54 Packards, that the factory had not thought of jack storage provisions, hence they shipped the jack with the car in a box.
The car's interior is absolutely like new. The luxurious rear lounge area has adjustable foot rests and fold down arm rest. The chrome and stainless have held up very well and the grille still has its coat of a factory gold-tinted spray-on called "defense chrome" - as chrome plating was limited in 1952 because of the Korean war. The all-original black paint still has a great deep shine. The engine compartment has its expected surface patina which judges in a Preservation Class show appreciate. The car has its original issued California plates still on it, War Amps key tag, and registration papers.
Includes the original brochure he was given when looking at the car, owners guide with jacket, radio manual, lubrication coupon book, a follow-up questionaire from Packard (not filled out), and many more original pieces to go with the car.
A car enthusiast purchased the car in 2016 from the wife, and in 2021 he sold all his cars. When I heard of this one-of-a-kind Packard, I immediately purchased it.
The car starts easily. The transmission was smooth as silk when I drove it around the block from 1317 miles to its present 1318. The tires smoothed out some in that short run as well.
While it could easily be put back into use and driven, I feel it should go to someone as a rare piece of Packard History. There simply is no other Packard with this amazing history and low mileage.
