Packard Eight (1925 to 1950)

The Packard Eight was a series of full size luxury cars first introduced for the 1925 model year. The Eight was the successor to the Packard Single Eight and would be built on and off until 1950, spawning models such as the Standard Eight, Custom Eight, DeLuxe Eight, and Super Eight. The Packard Eight was presented in four main generations: 1st Gen (1925-1927), 2nd Gen (1933-1936), 3rd Gen (1938), and 4th Gen (1948-1950). During this time, Packard organized their model lineup by series, with each series reflecting each evolution and wheelbase length of each model. An example would be the 1928 Packard Eight 443: The first '4' refers to the series (4th series), where the '43' represents the wheelbase length (143, shown as 43).
