\n

For 1940 Packard restyled the front end which had distinctive side grills that complemented the traditional center grill. The hood also received newly-designed louvres and the bumpers were a more simple one-piece design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design of the engine and chassis was almost completely carried over from the 1939 version with minor revisions to the rear suspension and cylinder head.<\/p>\n

New the official catalog was the Darrin Convertible Victoria. To ramp up production, these were made at the derelict Auburn plant in Cornersville, Indiana. Since the bodies retained very little of the standard Packard pressings, they were very time consuming and expensive to build. To achieve a lower stance Darrin replaced the front cross member of the chassis to lower the front grill. In fact, a recall was later issued for all Darrin models to reinforce this area after delivery.<\/p>\n

The factory also officially offered 12 other bodies for the Model 1801 including the Business Coupe, Club Coupe, Club Sedan, Convertible Coupe, Convertible Sedan, 2-Door Touring Sedan, 4-Door Touring Sedan, Station Wagon, Deluxe Convertible Coupe, Deluxe Club Sedan and Deluxe Touring Sedan.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
