1941 Packard 110 Deluxe Station Wagon
At $1,326, the 1941 Packard 110 Deluxe Station Wagon commanded a significant premium over the Ford Deluxe wagon at $950 and the comparable Pontiac at $1,015, but buyers were paying for the Packard name alongside genuine wood-bodied practicality.
By the early 1940s, the station wagon body style had shed its purely utilitarian origins and found a following among buyers who wanted both space and a degree of social currency.
The 110 was Packard’s junior line, expanded for 1941 and offered in multiple body styles and trim levels. Power came from a 245ci L-head inline six fed by a single carburetor, producing 100 horsepower at 3,000rpm.
A three-speed synchromesh manual with column-mounted shifter handled gear changes, while independent coil springs up front and leaf springs at the rear provided a reasonably composed ride for a vehicle of this type.
Total Packard production for 1941 reached approximately 34,700 units across all series, with the 110 accounting for the majority of that volume and the Deluxe Station Wagon occupying the top of the 110 price range.
