In 1936 Packard introduced their Fourteenth Series. The model
lineup included the One-Twenty, Eight, Super Eight and Twelve. With
sales of the entry level One-Twenty nearly doubling for 1936,
Packard's risky decision to offer an affordable model was paying
off. It allowed the company to stay afloat during the Great
Depression and continue to produce the luxurious cars the company
was known for, just in smaller quantities.
This Packard Super Eight 2/4 Passenger Coupe is one of only 1,330
luxurious Super Eights produced in 1936. Offered in a two-tone
burgundy and cream, the car shows beautifully. The Packard rides on
wide whitewall tires mounted on wire wheels with factory hubcaps.
Exterior features on the car include a rumble seat, covered dual
sidemounted spares with sideview mirrors, golf club doors on either
side, as well as a trunk rack with trunk which houses picnic place
settings.
Powering this Packard is a 384-cid, 150-hp inline eight-cylinder
engine which is paired to a three-speed synchromesh manual
transmission. Four-wheel vacuum assisted mechanical brakes provide
the car's stopping power. The interior is features leather seating
and a wood dashboard.
As a CCCA Full Classic, this stunning 1936 Packard 2/4 Passenger
Coupe is an ideal candidate for tours and show participation.
