How much did the 58 Packard Wagons weigh? How much heavier were they compared to the 58 Provincials? > How much did the 58 Packard Wagons weigh? > How much heavier were they compared to the 58 Provincials? The base shipping weight of a '58 Provincial is 3420 pounds. I can't imagine that a '58 Packard wagon was much different (I do not have the weight handy.). The Packard may even be lighter due to the fiberglass hood. doing this from memory....but seems that despite the lighter fiberglass hood, the Packard would weigh more due to more standard equipment: wasn't automatic standard with overdrive as option (vs. straight 3 speed on Stude).....power brakes......dual exhuast.....plus higher grade trim, carpet, might have had bigger wheels/tires (the 57s did). > How much did the 58 Packard Wagons weigh? > How much heavier were they compared to the 58 Provincials? I went up a couple of flights on this 100 degree day to check in my reference material. According to the 1958 Salesman's Data Book, a '58 Provincial weighs 3420 pounds and a '58 Packard wagon weighs 3555 pounds. Thanks everyone for your input. I greatly appreciate it. |
