A Lifetime of Collecting · Ask the Man Who Owns One
Welcome to Stan's Place — a private showroom of 1930s Packard motor cars, rare classics, and a remarkable fleet of vintage tractors, carefully preserved and proudly displayed.
The Collector
For decades, Stan Hollingsworth has pursued the finest examples of American and European motoring craftsmanship — with a special passion for the elegance of pre-war Packard motor cars.
His private showroom is more than a garage. It is a carefully curated museum of chrome, leather, and mechanical artistry — from the cream-and-red 1930 Packard 740 Deluxe Eight Phaeton to a striking 1933 Coupe Roadster and a show-winning 1936 Packard V12. European elegance is represented by a single-family-owned 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190SL in factory Light Blue, restored by Silver Star Restorations — alongside British sports cars and a working history of American farm machinery: John Deere, Farmall, Ford, Allis-Chalmers, and even a rare Lamborghini tractor.
Guests who step into Stan's Place find the same pride that once defined Packard's famous slogan — Ask the man who owns one.
"The best designed and best driving classic American car ever made."
Packard's own legacy · Still true today
The Heart of the Collection
In the pre-WWII era, Packard was the epitome of luxury motoring. These three machines represent the height of that golden age — restored, maintained, and occasionally shown at Amelia Island and Hilton Head.
Seventh Series · Open Luxury
Deluxe Eight Phaeton
One of the greatest years in Packard history. The Deluxe Eight sat at the top of the line, with big deluxe headlights, long straight front fenders, a low body, and the legendary flathead Super Eight — powerful, reliable, and still one of the best-looking Packards ever built.
Exceptional Rarity
1001 Coupe Roadster
Among the most striking Packards of the era. With only a few hundred built and a handful known to exist today, this Coupe Roadster is an exceptional rarity — meticulous body-off restoration, a 120-hp straight-eight, dual side-mounted spares, and a sophisticated black finish that commands the showroom floor.
Twelve Cylinders of Grandeur
Twelve · Convertible
The ultimate expression of Packard luxury in the mid-thirties — a V12 powerplant, long elegant lines, rumble seat character, and the presence to hold its own at Amelia Island and Hilton Head Concours. Chrome, cowl, and interior details that reward a closer look.
European Classic · Single-Family Owned
Factory Light Blue over beige leather — a meticulously refurbished roadster with both hardtop and soft top, rebuilt M121 power, and a documented multi-year restoration.
Chassis 12104210025671
Light Blue (DB334) · Beige Leather
Purchased new by the original owner’s father and kept in the same family for decades, this 190SL later received a comprehensive refurbishment by Silver Star Restorations of Topton, North Carolina (2013–2018), with work totaling over $75,000. The body was stripped, rust repaired, floor and trunk sections replaced, and the car repainted its factory color of Light Blue (DB334). Bumpers, grille, and trim were re-chromed; the removable hardtop refinished; and a beige soft top with matching boot fitted.
Power comes from a rebuilt 1.9-liter M121 inline-four with Weber carburetors, paired to a fully synchronized four-speed manual. Inside, low-back bucket seats and dashboard trim wear beige leather, with square-weave carpeting, lap belts, VDO gauges, and a retro-look stereo. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles (TMU).
