1940 Packard Super-8 One-Sixty Navigation
With the demise of the twelve-cylinder models, the Super Eight line remained the only Senior Series Packard on the books for 1940. To keep up its inventory of styles, Packard management dictated that the Super Eight line be divided into two ranges - the One-Sixty (taking the place of the previous Super Eight) and the Custom Super Eight One-Eighty (now the flagship in place of the discontinued V-12). Both featured the newly revised 365 CID, 165 horsepower straight-eight that, along with Buick's top-of-the-line unit, was the most powerful engine available in America.

Senior Packards shared three chassis lengths with 127-, 138, and 148-inch wheelbase available, and air-conditioning was offered for an extra $275 (described by Packard as 'cooled by mechanical refrigeration'), the first to be installed on production vehicles. Rollston of New York, which was renamed Rollston starting in 1938, was a coachbuilder well known for building formal limousines. The style on this particular example was called 'top hat' referring to the tall squared-off roofline. It is believed that this car was originally owned by the Rockefeller family.
