Packard Light Eight 1928
General description :
In den 20er und 30er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts gehörte Packard zu den weltweit führenden Herstellern luxuriöser Automobile. Das Modell 443 aus 1928 war eines der imposantesten großen Fahrzeuge seiner Zeit.Mit dem Radstand von 143 “ (3,63 Meter) und einer Länge von 5,35 Metern wirkt er auch heute noch beeindruckend. Im Automobilbau heißt es wie im Bootsbau “ Länge läuft „.Der 8 – Zylinder Reihenmotor läuft mit seiner 9 – fach gelagerten Kurbelwelle fast schwingungsfrei. Aus 384 cubic-inch ( 6.305 ccm ) Hubraum schöpft er 80 KW / 109 PS, die durch ein starkes Drehmoment sehr munter und kraftvoll wirken.Das manuelle 3 – Ganggetriebe schaltet präzise und trägt zur Fahrfreude bei.Dieses Exemplar wurde vor rund 20 Jahren aus den USA nach Spanien importiert und dort sorgsam technisch und optisch überarbeitet.Die sehr geschmackvolle 2 -Farblackierung im zeitgenössischen Stil wirkt sehr edel und ist mit dem Interieur gut abgestimmt.Wir liefern das Fahrzeug natürlich mit neuer Hauptuntersuchung und zulassungsfähigen deutschen Papieren.Ein frischer Service vor Auslieferung ist selbstverständlich.
