Packard introduced its 15th Series on September 3rd, 1936 and a total of 5,793 Super Eights were produced for 1937. This particular example wears a Town Cabriolet de Ville Body created by Brewster and delivered to Ford Motor Company on August 16, 1934, and sold by them to E. J. Bermingham, whose business address was 231 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois. Brewster records further add, 'Chassis re-sold to Universal Auto Wreck. Body mounted on Packard Super 8 for Mr. B.' So perhaps the Ford was wrecked and the owner had the body transplanted onto the Packard.
This Packard rests on a 134-inch wheelbase chassis and may have worn a five-passenger model prior to being fitted with Brewster coachwork. It is equipped with dual rearview mirrors, Packard Trippe Speedlights, dual side-mounted spares, and an accessory trunk rack. Additionally, there is an original interior with McCord under-dash heater. The passenger compartment includes a glass division, two jump seats, and a Waltham eight-day clock.
The 320 cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder engine delivers 135 horsepower.
