Early American Luxury - 1933 Packard Eight

This 1933 Packard Eight 5-Passenger Coupe is a beautifully restored pre-war cruiser and a Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) True Classic! From its modest beginnings in 1899, the Packard Motor Company garnered a reputation of high-quality, prestige, and luxury. In the years that followed, Packard trademarked it famous slogan "Ask the Man Who Owns One" and cemented itself atop America's luxury automakers including Cadillac, Marmon, Stutz, Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, Peerless, and Pierce-Arrow. 1933 marked the introduction of Packard model's new naming conventions consisting of the Eight, Super Eight, and Twelve nomenclature, replacing the former Standard, Deluxe Eight, and Twin-Six names. Packard's mechanical improvements in '33 were also noteworthy and included a new "X" member frame, an upgraded 2-barrel carburetor, and the novel vacuum-assisted braking system which was 4-position adjustable. This 1933 Packard 8 comes to us from the large collection of an avid collector who purchased the car from a southern-based museum nearly 30 years ago. Under the hood is a 319.2 Cubic Inch L-Head Straight 8 paired with a single 2 barrel carburetor. It is backed by a 3 speed manual transmission that is shifted using the floor-mounted shifter. The iconic '33 Packard grille is color-matched to the exterior of the car and is adorned by the deluxe "Cormorant" chrome hood ornament. Riding on a set of wide whitewall bias-ply tires on painted wire wheels, this 1933 Packard 8 has a wonderful look going down the road. A rear-mounted spare tire sits in front of the integrated rear trunk compartment and further adds to the classy look of this pre-war automobile. Braking is provided by mechanical brakes in all four corners aided by a Bendix vacuum-assist system that was quite a novel idea back in 1933. Once of the most interesting features of this '33 Packard Eight are the front "pivot-pane" windows that act as sort of "barn-door" style vent windows providing ventilation for the driver and front seat passenger. The exterior has been refinished in a two-tone paint scheme consisting of Flame Cardinal and Sable Black that completes the elegant look of this True Classic. The interior on this 1933 Packard 8 is gorgeous! The front opera seats and rear bench have been reupholstered in gray broadcloth that give this 5 passenger coupe a fantastic period appearance. The steering wheel, burl woodgrain dash, and matching gray broadcloth burl-trimmed door panels are in wonderful condition and all retain a nice stock look. The instrument cluster is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, oil pressure gauge, amp gauge, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge, along with a Waltham clock and cigar lighter. Whether you're adding to your existing collection CCCA True Classics or you're buying your first classic car, this 1933 Packard Eight 5-Passenger Coupe would make an excellent choice.
