C. 1953 Packard Under Covers in East Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Packard was the last manufacturer to have a modern, high compression V8, not coming until 1955. This car had a version of their prewar side valve flathead straight eight. It was, however, extremely reliable, smooth and quiet.

This is Murpho’s newest project. Original flathead straight eight replaced by 1956 Packard V8. These were well-built cars. Here is the same car for sale earlier.  See permanent link for Murpho’s Rods and Customs at right of each page.
