What is a '49 Packard worth? My son called and said a friend's dad bought a farm in Indiana and there was a 49 Packard sitting there that he wants to get rid of. Free for the taking. I have no idea what model or condition. We are going to go get it some day this week. It might be rusted beyond belief and totally worthless. I am not up on old Packards. How many models were there in '49? This message has been edited by ed monahan on 06-27-2005 at 10:39 PM

STUPID ANSWER (as usual)...It has to be worth something on EBay ...1949 was many, many, many years before I was born....I have only seen and heard of Packards on the History Channel This message has been edited by tangled up in BLUE on 06-27-2005 at 12:13 AM

I would bet that load of horse manure you just put out has more value than the Packard. lol

Nuther "load of horse manure"!! Is it a '49 or '59...make up your mind Ed!! The '59 was a joint effort between Packard and Studebaker. Either one is worth some bucks to the street rodders.

The Old Packard Proving Grounds has been taken over by a group of Packard collectors. Try Google search, I know they have a web site. Located in Shelby Township/Utica, Michigan. It's also a nice 2-3 hour tour of the old facility! Van Dyke, nort of 22 mile road, west side of VD.

I had and sold my original 1949 custom eight convertible about 6 years ago for $34.900 but it was close to mint original 65k miles on it with spoked wire wheels . Is it a super deluxe sedan or a super eight club sedan??, what's the condition, also like anything else if its a convertible, coupe or a station wagon its worth good money no matter what the condition. They were dubbed the pregnant elephant. Packard Production #s for 1949 were 116.995 cars according to my Packard Book. starting On the low end for sedans $600.00 & up depending on condition??? hope this helps. toys

Thanks for the input. It is a 49, I went with the best 2 out of 3 to determine that. lol
