This fine
"Original California" specimen has received a meticulous
frame-up restoration (with photo documentation) by
Robert Escalante of Santa Ana California. Robert is
famous for his restorations of Pebble Beach Packard's
and many other award winning Packard's. Stunning in it's
original "Belvedere Green exterior, dark green "Hartz
Cloth" soft top and two tone "Leather" interior. The
restoration costs were well over one hundred thousand
dollars to complete and it was done for the famous Art
Astor Collection of Southern California. Last year RM
Auctions sold most of Arts Collection for over twenty
millions dollars. This was one of Arts prize items which
he sold directly the current owner instead of letting it
go to auction. It drives and runs like a brand new
Packard... NO Excuses Period! |
