Packard Super Eight 160 was the name given to the one of the two eight cylinder luxury automobiles produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan. It shared frames and some body types with the top model Packard Twelve. Following the discontinuation of the Seventeenth Series Packard Twelve after the 1939 model year.
Options include: Deluxe bumper Guards, Spot Light, Cormorant Hood Ornament and Back Up light, the front seat contains a privacy divider that can be rolled up from the back seat. This was not an option offered on this model leading to the assumption that it was specially ordered.

Car History: Purchased at the 2018 OHTM Auction. After getting the car home and evaluating, a call was placed to the consigner to obtain as much history as possible. It appears that the car was purchased around 2008 and restored by a gentleman in Massachusetts who had not driven it more than 100 miles. The car’s condition would indicate that it had at that time a new repaint and interior. The underside of the car was quite clean. Mechanicals had not been touched.
Since 2018, the following mechanical work has been done to the car
Replaced Starter Generator , Rebuilt Vacuum Windshield Wiper Motor , Rebuilt brake system including lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder and shoes , Installed replacement exhaust system , Rebuilt mechanical fuel / vacuum pump , Engine overhauled by Columbia Classic cars. Note: Initially it was believed only a valve job was needed but, a full overhaul was performed to ensure quality and longevity, Installed electric fuel pump for priming (located under side of dash above emergency brake handle) , Replaced tires with proper size and aligned front end, Replaced ignition coil with NOS part , Replaced Battery , Wheel Bearing Replacement.
All Columbia Classic and parts invoiced are available with the purchase of this car.
