1938 Packard Straight Eight SHOW WINNER $47K

[Leif in Calif]

Does look like a nice example, but there are lots of shows....  An Ohio car advertised on Las Vegas CL...perhaps the owner hopes to get lucky.

Such poor quality photos. Seems like a nice car, though. I like the 38’s.

These are great cars.  
 

Only issue is that the Super Eights in 1938 had metallurgical issues with block casting.  Crystallization and cracking of blocks between valve seats, not just some, but common issue with this engine.  Once crystallized, the block can’t be repaired.

 

I’ve owned three 1938s, still have one, wonderful driving cars with center point front suspension, steer with a couple of fingers and 60 miles per hour all day long.

I think I have seen it here before. Better pictures would help.

Perhaps the seller could afford a decent camera with the 47K he plans to make on the car.
