`41 Packard One-Ten Station Wagon: Woody!

In August, I had the opportunity to appraise this 1941 Packard One-Ten station wagon with a wooden body produced by the Hercules Body Company of Evansville, Indiana. All Packard One-Ten models were powered by a 245 cubic inch 100 horsepower flathead inline six cylinder engine backed by a three-speed manual transmission. This vehicle is one of only 358 Packard One-Ten [six cylinder] and One-Twenty [eight cylinder] Hercules-bodied station wagons produced during the 1941 model year with the majority of those having been assembled on the One-Twenty platform. My client’s vehicle underwent a three year comprehensive body-off restoration, which his father completed in 1975! Having been lovingly maintained over the past 50 years, it was in remarkable condition with the exterior and interior wood components still being excellent.
