Your 8-26 Packard was originally all black when new, according to several NJ old-timers who remember the car in the early 1960's.

The Stuyvesant Garage and Stuyvesant Motor Sales were owned by the Chambers brothers, Leon and Bert, (actually Adelbert) whose father was a noted physician in Kingston. Stuyvesant Motor Sales were the Packard dealer for some years, how many I am not certain. Among others, they delivered a '33 Super Eight 1003 sedan that has been owned for many years by a friend of mine, a dark green car that he usually shows at Hershey every year. I know of several more Packards that came from this dealer, including a '31 8-45 7 pass. sedan and a '34 1100 5 pass. sedan.

This is a Brunn body on a Third Series Packard Eight 3-43 chassis. The story of the car and its restoration was written up in the "Antique Automobile" some years ago. The owner is a long-time member of AACA in Tennessee. At the present time, so far as anyone knows, this is the sole remaining example of a Brunn body on a Third Series Eight Packard chassis.

The Packard is a First Series Eight (called "Single Eight" in early production) Model 1-43 seven-passenger touring car. The First Series was current from June, 1923 through early February, 1925. Identifying feature that this is a First and not a Second Series Eight are the headlamps held in yokes. Second Series did not have the yokes.
