Barn Find Packard Hearse Moving from 40 year storage

Yes this if the Packard Hearse that was found after sitting since sometime in the 1970’s 😕 From what I have been told about this somewhat rare Hearse is that it was purchased to be daily driven at College in Kalamazoo Michigan. Not only that but also used to comute from school to New Jersey! Yeah in this day and age it doesn’t seem like that big a deal but think about driving a straight 8 flathead with a 3 on the tree manual transmission for that distance 😕

Cool thing about the engine in this beast is that it has a 4 barrel carb on it from the factory! So that is a somewhat rare thing to me at least as I do not know of many straight or even v8 Flatheads that would have a 4 barrel carburetor and not a 2 barrel stroberg or Holley? Then you have what was inside this Hearse. For one it has a Back Seat. I have seen Hearses that had just a one person seat but, this had a regular bench seat in back for some reason? Then it has a refrigerator back there too however I think that was just being brought back from school all those years ago? Then plenty of cough syrup bottles and stuff. Maybe he was making an early form of Meth way back when 😯

You don’t find Barn Finds like this everyday! Well unless you have connections like I do with a dealership that sells stuff like this all the time. This isn’t even the half of it. I have seen 1958 and 1959 Flower Cars that they have found with no miles on them either! This stuff is out there if you just look for it hard enough.
