Packard Super 8 160 1938

Vehicle description

This car speaks for itself in quality and rare original condition. It cruises effortlessly at 70 MPH because of the high top-end rear axle ratio. The previous owner from Claremore, Oklahoma owned this beauty for 26 years and it has obviously received tender loving care. The side glasses were replaced because of age related de-lamination. During this process it was a surprise to find that all the wood and window mechanisms within the doors appeared as new as when the vehicle was assembled 84 years ago. The driving performance is absolutely amazing - smooth as silk ride - whisper quiet - excellent handling, braking and acceleration. Special features include dual fender-mounted spares complete with covers and rearview mirrors, correct front fender mounted road and fog lamps, directional signals, "golf bag" side door, rumble seat with leather arm rests that match the interior leather, opening rear windows (to communicate with rumble seat passengers), rear window privacy curtain, factory radio, factory clock, factory heater and rear-bumper-mounted luggage trunk. This is one of the most original, honest, Packard Super 8 Coupes one could hope to find.
