This 1933 Packard 1001 Roadster is a beautifully restored car!  the Classic Car Club of America awarded it first place, senior and premiere trophies in national competition, that’s how nice it is!

The ’33 Fenders are Packard’s first – and I argue the best – treatment of skirted fenders.

Chrome wire wheels are the best!  And, new for 1933 were the one piece outer rims, replacing the lockring of the previous year.  Packard was constantly improving their cars.

And on the intake / exhaust side we have the new for ’33 Dual throat downdraft carburetor,  a dramatic improvement in power and useability over the previous year’s updraft item.
