This 1933 Packard 1001 Roadster is a beautifully restored car! the Classic Car Club of America awarded it first place, senior and premiere trophies in national competition, that’s how nice it is!
.
That couldn’t be any prettier! Chrome 17″ wire wheels, sidemounts with the proper metal covers, and goddess of Speed mascot!
.
CCCA First, Senior and Premiere
.
.
The ’33 Fenders are Packard’s first – and I argue the best – treatment of skirted fenders.
.
Note the rumbleseat and golf bag door
.
And of course the working thermostatic grille shutters.
.
Sparkling.
.
Spectacular
.
The Goddess of Speed!
.
Chrome wire wheels are the best! And, new for 1933 were the one piece outer rims, replacing the lockring of the previous year. Packard was constantly improving their cars.
.
Nice Luggage Rack and rumbleseat.
.
Beautiful burl pattern dashboard, and crisp, sharp gauges.
.
Excellent leather interior.
.
Beautiful doorpanels. Excellent runningboards. Nice everywhere you look!
.
Dazzling dashboard
.
Beautiful!
.
Excellent top bows
.
Rumbleseat with the elbow protectors – keeps your elbows from burning on the hot sheetmetal!
.
320 Cubic inches, 120 factory rated horsepower. Note the mechanical fuel pump with vacuum booster, and the bijur chassis lubrication reservoir on the firewall.
.
And on the intake / exhaust side we have the new for ’33 Dual throat downdraft carburetor, a dramatic improvement in power and useability over the previous year’s updraft item.
.
Factory dry element air cleaner
.
Exceptionally clean and nice! and, it runs as good as it looks!
.
Original splash pans
.
Clean underneath, too! Painting the chassis to match the body color was a Packard option.
.
tail light detail, I like the ridges on the glass.
.
And the sharp engraving on the headlights!
.
A spectacular car!
