Guest nastyeyes Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone. I work at a Ford dealership near Detroit, and this Packard Eight came through yesterday on a car hauler on its way to its new owner in Minnesota. I don't know anything about Packards, but I though you guys might like to check out this great old car and could maybe tell me a little about it. I climbed onto the car hauler and had a good look inside. It seemed to be all original and in pretty good shape, unlike the former Packard plant...

nzcarnerd Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Looks to be a 1936 Club Sedan but whether it is a regular Eight with the 320 engine or a Super Eight with the 384 I don't know. Note the weights on the ends of the front bumper. This was the last year for the straight front axle on the big Packards and the weights were aan attempt to keep things in check.

CarlLaFong Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Looks like a nice survivor. Note the delaminated glass in the driver's door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den41Buick Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 1936 Packard 8, a four door sedan with black exterior paint, wide whitewalls with spoke Packard wheels and running board. The interior is done in tan cloth. The car has new door panels and headliner, all new in 2012. The engine is the original straight 8 and the transmission is a 3 speed manual floor shift, Both the engine and the transmission were rebuilt in 2009.Price: $38,500 Looks pretty much original.<!-- End description --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Definately goes in some of my top ten lists, not least of which would be styling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Is that really a vinyl top, or are my eyes playing tricks on me again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Appears to be a vinyl or leather top, both were available in that time frame...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
