I was working at the Veteran Car Museum in Littleton, Colorado in 1970 and had the pleasure to work on this 180 LeBaron sedan. I had to rewire the car and get it running. It was then sent off for finish work to be used in the Godfather movie. I believe it was owned at that time by an airline pilot from Denver. What a fine car and a real experience to be able to work on it. |

![[Image: packard.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3321/packard.jpg) "The car offered here, which is identified by its original firewall plate as vehicle number 1452-2063, is equipped with dual side-mounted spares and running boards, both of which were optional features in 1941, and it was sold new in Philadelphia. It was used in the classic 1972 Francis Ford Coppola film The Godfather. The car appears in a scene early in the film, as part of a group of cars lined up outside the Corleone family compound to attend Connie Corleone’s wedding. Alfran Productions, Mr. Coppola’s production company, rented the car from its owner of many years, the late Don Rook, as is documented by a letter on file that identifies this Packard by its vehicle number." Estimate: $40,000 - $60,000 Sold For $27,500 Link to "rmsothebys.com" |

Perhaps it would have made a bit more money if he had changed his name to Francis Packard Coppola. |
