1942 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty Convertible Coupe

1942 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty Navigation
Only about 100 Packard-Darrin Convertible Victorias were built over a three-year period from 1940-1942. This sporty and luxurious Packard Convertible Victoria was based on a customized Packard made for actor-singer Dick Powell by automobile stylist Howard 'Dutch' Darrin. The sleek Victoria had a cut-down windshield and a gently sloping door line - the 'Darrin' dip - that kicked up toward the rear.

The Custom Super 8 One Eighty Convertible Victoria came standard with a 356 cubic-inch engine that produced 160 horsepower. The engine was coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission and had a top speed of 85 mph. This 4,040-pound car sold for $4,595, which was quite expensive for that era, but Packard was able to sell everyone.

In 1942, production of the Victoria was turned over to Sayers and Scoville, a firm that built ambulances and hearses. They produced about 35 Victorias.
