For Sale 

1928 Packard 526 4 Door Sedan

Acquisition of a new car forces the sale of my 1928 Packard 526 sedan that I have owned since August 2019.  The car is a very solid, now well-sorted, California car.  The car was on the cover of the Northern California Packards 2022-23 Calendar.

Facts

• Purchased new in Woodland, CA through Earle C. Anthony Distributorship by a couple in Woodland, CA.  I am currently the 4th owner of the car and have documentation of all previous owners
• The car was essentially in ‘barn find’ condition when I purchased it (see then and now photos)
• I have put over 2,000 miles on the car.  It starts easily, runs cool and well.
• Good original interior including original rear floor mat (not in great condition)

• New tires
• New Waldron exhaust system
• Front suspension (steering linkages) disassembled and inspected
• Also checked rear axle and seals when brake work done
• Valve train inspected and valve adjustors surfaced
• New points, plugs, condenser, and wires.  Distributor checked on Sun tester and it is to spec
• Pan removed and cleaned.  Both main and rod bearings checked and appear fine
• Zenith carburetor rebuilt.  I have an original carburetor for the car and rebuild kit that goes with sale
• Watson Stabilator straps replaced on all 4 units
• Generator rebuilt
• New wiper motor
• New running board material
• Powder coated wheels
• Car is early production car built in 1927

Much of the mechanical work was done by Pumphrey and Co. in Campbell.  I have all the receipts and photos documenting the work.

I have really enjoy driving this car but space constraints do not allow me to keep it.
