Welcome to our new look!

1936 Packard Super 8 Phaeton

This 1936 Packard Super 8 Phaeton has the powerful 385 Cubic inch straight 8,  It runs great, and is ready for CCCA, AACA and Packard club events and tours.  Restored by the expert Tom Sparks at his shop in Hollywood, CA.  It’s an exceptionally rare, sporting body style, and it has its original Packard data plate which validates the coachwork.

.

The fenderline on this car is spectacular – it emphasizes the Super 8 hood, and the generous 139″ wheelbase.

.

Note the Michelin 17″ Tires over factory wire wheels.

.

Optional Counterweighted Bumpers ( like the V-12 cars had) , Bumperguards, spotlight, and Adonis at the Well mascot add to the charm!

.

Great from any angle!

.

Nice trunk rack.  The spare tire itself is mounted inside the trunk.  Also note the trunk rack bumper, another nice accessory!

.

Lovely! Packard got streamlined in ’36.

.

Packard Super 8!  Also note the thermostatic shutters are working properly.

.

The spotlight is from the C.M. Hall Lamp Company, Detroit, Michigan,  a Packard supplier for many years.

.

The windshield

.

Beautiful dashboard

.

Lovely steering wheel! Note the emblem, and the lovely woodgraining on the dashboard

.

just as it should be!

.

Leather upholstery – high quality work , but it does show a bit of age.

.

Note the driver’s seat is adjustable, using the button at the seat bolster. Works great!

.

Here’s the rear compartment, in very nice condition.

.

Beautiful Top bows and excellent top!

.

Nice!

.

Excellent wool carpeting and a great vintage lap robe.

.

Great Packard step plates

.

The heart – 385 cubic inch Packard straight 8.  This engine runs beautifully,  so quiet, and so smooth.

.

Correctly finished in Packard engine green, aluminum crank case, and black accessories. The cylinder head is the desirable “HC”  cast iron cylinder head.

.

By 1936 the Packard Super 8 had a dual throat downdraft carburetor, with automatic choke.

.

Another view of the engine.  The engine runs great, and is assisted by high-speed rear axle gears with a 4.06 ratio,  which makes high speed touring easier on the car.

.

The original data plate is an important part of this car, the 951 designates a ’36 Super 8 Phaeton,  and this is the 5th car built, since they started the sequential numbers at 200.  It was sold new at Packard Motor Car Company of Boston, the New England area Packard Distributor.

.

The engine serial number corresponds to the ’35 Super 8 series,  identical except for the serial number to the ’36 Super 8.

.

.

Club tour history!

.

That is a great looking car!

.

A wonderful car , with a very high quality older restoration with consistent maintanance and care.
