1936 Packard Super 8 Convertible Coupe
Wonderful genuine 1936 Packard SU 8 Convertible Coupe ready to
enjoy. Only 1500 Super Eights were built in 1936. Important to note
that 1936 was the last year for the 385 cubic inch straight eight
engine, as the smaller 325 cubic inch engine replaced it in 1937.
Many styling changes including the 5 degree "tilted" back radiator
shell added more style to the beautiful bodies offered. This
Packard has a known history from NEW!!! Documented History: 1936

959-239 Sold new in Calgary, Alberta to Mr. Jack Baxter. He paid
$5000 Canadian for the new Packard. He sold the car to Jim Brewster
(Tour bus operator) several years later. It stayed in Canada with
Murray Gamon next and shipped to Barph, Alberta where it stayed for
many years. Murray shipped the Packard to Custom Auto in Santa Ana,
California in 1966-67 for restortion. Completed, he drove it back
to Victoria, B.C. to the classic Car museum in 1971. in 1991 it was
sold to Gordon Levitt of Vancouver, B.C. It finally went to
Seattle, Washington in 1997 and remained in a private collection
until 2013. The collector passed away in 2013 and I purchased the
Packard in the restored condition as it is presented today. This is
one of the best and SOLID Packards I have ever driven. It is
amazing AND is equipped with a 2 speed rear end for highway
crusing. $175,000.
