Rare Gem Alert: 1954 Packard Henney Jr. Ambulance – A True Collector’s Delight!
The super rare 1954 Packard Henney Jr. Ambulance was last seen for sale in Rogers, Minnesota, USA for $37,995.
Have you ever laid eyes on a 1954 Packard Henney Jr. Ambulance? These vintage beauties are truly a sight to behold, and finding one in such impeccable condition is a stroke of luck! Their rarity and charm make them a standout in the world of classic cars, capturing the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike.
In 1953, Packard teamed up with Henney to create the “Junior.” Unlike its larger counterparts, the Junior, designed primarily for ambulance and hearse duties, offered a more compact 127″ wheelbase. This smaller size was a game-changer, allowing it to fit into standard garages while providing professional services with style and maneuverability.
The 1954 Packard Henney Jr. Ambulance is a rare gem, with only 500 units ever produced. Despite its beauty, production costs exceeded the selling price, resulting in a $300 loss per vehicle. To recover, Henney and Packard raised the price from $3,333 to $4,333 mid-production, improving profitability but decreasing sales.
Our featured unit stands as a true collector’s dream, showcasing newer paint, an updated interior, and shining chrome. It comes equipped with fully functional lights, a working siren, and a red-and-white vinyl-clad interior complete with cabinets and a genuine working gurney. Under the hood, the powerful 327 Packard straight 8 engine pairs perfectly with the Packard Ultramatic Automatic Transmission, delivering a smooth, enjoyable drive for any car enthusiast.
