Ready to take a walk down memory lane in on of the most iconic names of its time... Well here you go! Our beautiful 1940 Packard Super 8 Coupe. The Packard Super Eight was the larger of the two eight-cylinder luxury automobiles produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan. It shared frames and some body types with the top model Packard Twelve. In 1937, it was reduced to a smaller and lighter design.[4] Following the discontinuation of the Sixteenth Series Twelve after the 1939 model year, a new Custom Super Eight One-Eighty was derived from the Super Eight as the new top car range.[5] The Super Eight was renamed the Super Eight One-Sixty starting a naming convention change in 1940. These two models shared most mechanical components including the 160 HP Inline Eight engine and continued to be regarded as the Senior Packard. And this well maintained red beauty does not disappoint. After being passed down through the family it can now join your family and bring many memories to come.
