Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Well ive finnally got my money together and the Super 8 is mine-NOT! the owner is not quite ready to part with it (mainly because the owner's wife-it was her fathers car). Anyway the gentleman in the picture couldnt have been more nice or accomodating and said I could stop by and look at it whenever I got the chance. OH SO CLOSE!! Im not ready to give up on acquiring this car; I may just have to bide my time. In the meantime enjoy these additional photos.

Too bad they didn't do a better long term storage job.

It doesn't take much to preserve a vehicle in long term storage. Actually less than keeping it running.

Interesting OIL FILTER design. Know what the 6 volt does?

Hmmm....Looks a lot like my first Packard - also out of Pennsylvania. From the jump seats in the rear I am thinking this is an 1105, model 754 7P on a 147" wb and very similar to a model 753 on a 135" wb.

Mine was delivered by the Jones & Manske dealership in Reading, PA.

Good luck on getting your prize.

The car was sold new in Phila in December of 1933-the red hoses and the filer connect the engine with a nurse tank (since the owner admitted the gas tank is dirty) so they can start it in case they need to move it.And oh yes the original 1933 PA license plates are still in the car!



Oh before I forget-the car has less than 30K miles on it AND I BELIEVE IT!




OH I WANT THIS CAR SO BAD!
