1941 Packard 110 Deluxe Station Wagon (more photos 👇)
Packard’s junior 110 Series expanded from six to twelve models for 1941, spread across two trim lines to capitalize on the segment’s sales success.
The eight-passenger Deluxe Station Wagon represented the line’s most expensive offering at $1,326, positioned above a Ford Deluxe Station Wagon (around $950) and a comparable Pontiac Torpedo Eight wagon (around $1,100), while delivering Packard’s reputation for quality and refinement to middle-class buyers.
The Station Wagon body featured wood construction with multiple windows providing excellent visibility for passengers. Factory woodwork typically used ash framing with birch or mahogany panels, finished with multiple coats of varnish to protect against weather and wear.
The wagon’s practical design accommodated eight passengers across three rows of seating. Curb weight was approximately 3,700 pounds.
Power came from a 245-cubic-inch L-head inline-six producing 100 horsepower at 3,000 rpm, paired with a three-speed synchromesh column-shifted manual transmission, with optional overdrive.
Front independent coil-spring suspension and rear leaf springs provided the ride quality expected of the Packard nameplate, while four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes handled stopping duties.
