History About Packard's 1502 Super Eight Convertible Sedan
Model:
Things literally couldn't have been better for Packard as they
rolled into 1937. With nearly 50 models to choose from on over four
chassis designs, they were able to capitalize on every facet of the
market audience. New features included standard hydraulic brakes
and new Safe-T-Flex independent front suspension for smoother road
feedback, with the elimination of the outdated Bijur lubrication
system as well as the adjustable ride control system. From entry
level options to the expensive luxury models they were well known
for, they could truly cater to the needs of all buyers. It was for
this fact, they sold more units at the end of the 1937 than they
would ever match again! Although, the majority of those units sold,
some 90% to be more exact, were the entry level 115 or 120 Series
models, the balance of Senior models like the Super Eight and V12
continued to be built in limited supply and continue to be the most
sought after today!
About Our Classic Packard For Sale:
We are very excited to offer this beautifully cared for 1937
Packard Super Eight Series 1502 5-passenger Convertible Sedan
featuring the desired 139" chassis! Finished with a beautiful
Packard Blue exterior with a Gray leather interior and Tan cloth
convertible soft top. This restored Super Eight continues to retain
an appearance of a gently enjoyed vehicle since its completion over
20 years ago. Powered by its original 320ci L-Head straight 8
engine mated to a 3-speed manual shift transmission, this Packard
continues to run with perfect ease! Additional features include
steel covered side-mounted spare tires with Packard See-Rite
rearview mirrors, roll up 3-piece glass partition divider window,
Trippe Speed Lights, trumpet horns, rear luggage rack, Firestone
Deluxe Champion wide whitewall tires, goddess of speed hood
ornament, heat/defrost, full dash instrumentation, rear floor foot
rest, and locking storage compartment!
This Packard has been cared for very well by all former owners, who
proudly used this vehicle on fair weather days for special events
or classic car gatherings. It was never left to sit for lengthy
periods of time without proper regular service intervals. The car
was last restored approximately 20 years ago, with the paint
showing only the slightest of patina. The very same can be said for
the interior as both remain quite beautiful in our opinion! It now
shows 18,308 miles on the odometer which can only be assumed to be
the amount acquired since the completion of the restoration. As a
Classic Car Club of America Full Classic, it is proudly eligible
for annual CCCA events and CARavan tours. Not to mention AACA and
VMCCA club events as well. For this reason, front seatbelts are
currently installed, as well as turn signals for added safety. It
will be accompanied with a 1937 Packard owner's manual and nicely
organized wooden storage box housing original tools and tire
changing equipment.
