1937 Packard Super 8 Dual Windshield Phaeton
Model 1502. 130bhp 320 cu. in. L-head nine main bearing inline eight-cylinder engine with three-speed synchromesh transmission, coil spring independent front suspension and leaf spring live hypoid rear axle with four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 134"
The coachbuilt Rollston Packard offered here is believed to be a one-off design; Packard had not offered a factory-bodied phaeton since the 1936 model year. Built on Packard’s proven 1937 Super Eight chassis it is based on Rollston’s Model 1502 body, with added custom details to both the interior and exterior.
This striking Packard has benefited from a full restoration including new paint and brightwork, and has been driven less than 8,500 miles since completion. It is in exceptional overall condition. Completed in burgundy with a tan top and matching leather interior, the bodywork is classically conservative and elegant. The long wheelbase Super Eight chassis allowed space for a pair of auxiliary jump seats.
Well equipped, this special Packard is equipped with a matched pair of driving lights, side mount spares with covers, and a metal rear mounted trunk.
The quality and presentation of the car speaks for itself. As one of the last of the true coachbuilt cars of the era, it represents a unique opportunity for a collector to acquire a car that combines one of the most modern Packard chassis, with one of the best looking bodies from the very end of the era of the true coachbuilt car.
