1948 PACKARD SUPER EIGHT CONVERTIBLE
TWENTY-SECOND SERIES
LS1 ENGINE The
Packard Motor Car Company turned out the finest
cars in the world, built to the highest
standards of quality and engineering for over 50
years. This legendary Marque is the choice of
top collectors the world over. No collection is
complete without a Classic Era Packard. This
rare example would make a fine addition to any
collection and will garner quite a bit of
attention at any meet. The 22ns Series Packard
is the first true Post War Design, and the
Convertible Victoria is the most rare and
desirable with just 1100 units produced. The
first convertible produced by Packard since the
war, the Super 8 was a newly designed motor with
a displacement of 327 Cu In. The streamlined
body style exudes the flamboyance and style of
its Era like few other cars can. This is a rare
opportunity to acquire one of the truly
outstanding cars of the last forties.
This car features power top, windows and seat,
radio, heater, and the legendary Packard 3
speed/OD gearbox.
