For 1925, Packard changed the designation for their Single Eight to simply the Eight. Disc wheels and balloon tires became standard and a new Bijur chassis lubrication system was added. Beginning during the spring of 1926, a Hotchkiss drive was added.
This Packard is a four-passenger open Sport model that rides on a 136-inch wheelbase platform. It is bodied by Chicago's Pullman Company, of railroad car fame. It sat two inches lower and was five inches narrower than the standard Packard phaeton. The radiator and hood line was also lowered. this was Packard's earliest use of the famed 'false cowl' that would later be seen on the 1930s models. All four door models on the Pullman body were hinged at the front, emphasizing that this was an 'owner-driver' car.
The sport was offered from 1922 through 1926.
The original owner of this car took delivery in Philadelphia in June of 1926. It is one of three sport models known to survive today. It came equipped with many accessories including side-mounted spares (an option rarely seen in 1926), wind wings, a deluxe tonneau windshield for the rear seat, a spotlight, cowl lights, a trunk rack, and the front-mounted Biflex bumper.
The car was acquired in 1953 by the second owners in Virginia. It would remain in their care for nearly six decades. In September 2003, it was the subject of an article in Cars and Parts magazine.
This car is original and only missing a one-wheel lock ring and the spare tire caps and wing nuts. The car still has all of its original accessories that were installed in 1926, with most of the original glass still in the windshields, the gauges still in the dashboard, and all lights and bumpers still present. Under the hood, the original Skinner oil rectifier, a Fuelizer carburetor, and 20-inch wheels can still be found.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2014
