Guest Wayne Harris Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I came upon the following ad for a 1937 Super Eight. It seems to be in pretty good shape and, from my research, 1937 seems like a good year. Does anybody have any opinions or comments on this car? I realize the description and photos are minimal but I can perhaps get more information if it seems a good example, price, etc. All comments will be appreciated.Thanks,Wayne1937 Packard Standard 8 - $29,000 - Vehicle Classifieds For Classic Standard 8s For Sale (CC-367904) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Wow. I don't know how you could go wrong at that price. It looks like a fully restored car. Pictures are deceiving, though, so make sure you look at it in person. I would want to know about the mechanical condition of the engine. It says it was done.Be careful about fraud, or spammer or whatever. Almost seems too good to be true.

Guest Wayne Harris Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I emailed the seller with several questions. She answered a day later but most of my questions were not answered. She promised to send additional pictures but, so far, has not sent them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den41Buick Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Looks to good to be true to me. A Super 8 in that condition should be 50K or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brich2929 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wayne, did you ever hear back from the seller? All I got was loads of extra email spam. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wayne Harris Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 No, I never heard from her after the first reply although I sent her another email. I have given up on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The AD calls it a "STANDARD EIGHT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wayne Harris Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You're right Marty, the ad does call it a Standard Eight. But, according to my information, there was no "Standard Eight" produced in 1937. The Standard Eight designation was dropped after 1936 and that model, for all intents and purposes, became the Super Eight. The former Super Eight with its larger engine and longer wheelbase options was discontinued after the 1936 model year but Packard continued to use the Super Eight designation for the smaller car.
