1937 Packard Super Eight Division Window Limousine.
Made in Detroit Michigan.
Packard was known for building some of the finest American cars during the pre-World War II era. Many car enthusiasts consider the Super Eights and Super Twelves to be the best automobiles produced by Packard. Some of the more notable people during this period of time that owned Super Eights were Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jean Harlow, and Franklin Roosevelt.
The car was powered by a 5.2L straight 8cylinder motor and hooked up to a 3-speed manual transmission. This was the first Packard to feature independent suspension and hydraulic brakes. The Super Eight series was available in 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, convertible, and limousine. Over 100000 Super Eights were built from 1933 to 1937.
Prior to acquisition by the museum, this car had been owned by one family since its purchase in 1937.
