Bill Jones, Jr., Garden City, Kansas, has rebuilt a wrecked 1941 Packard 110 convertible street rod. The previous owner, an 84 year old man, had a heart attack or stroke and ran the car into the side of a brick home at 20-25 mph. It totally destroyed the front clip and frame.
Bill got a ’41 parts car and changed the frame, had a Fat Man Fabrication sub frame installed, took out the 350 chevy engine and transmission.
Bill installed an LS1 5.3 liter fuel injected Chevy engine and 4L60E AOD transmission.
Bill got good sheet metal from Max Merritt Packard Parts in Franklin, Indiana, and acquired NOS side grills and vertical grill bars from Max Merritt.
The car got painted ’72 Ford medium bright yellow.
The interior has power seats from a ’95 Cadillac Eldorado covered in buckskin leather, Vintage Air heat & AC, tilt wheel and cruise control.
The Packard now has four wheel power disc brakes, power rack and pinion steering, tilt and cruise, custom made Truespoke wheels with WWW tires and Packard center medallion, power windows, and buckskin power top. Bill did everything on the car but paint and body work.
Bill also owns a stock ’41 120 convertible coupe that came with the 180 trim package installed, a rare car, and a 1932 Rockne 75 4-passenger coupe (produced by Studebaker).
