As I wrote at the SDC forum, my point was that as "The Master Motor Builder", Packard should have anticipated the V-8 trend and been among the first of the luxury car makes to offer a V-8. You are correct that Chevrolet and the other you listed introduced V-8s the same year as Packard. The problem is that Packard was the LAST of the luxury makes with a V-8.
Of course, with Christopher running the show, that didn't happen ...
