Description:

This Custom Super 8 is the only Post War Car to be designated a CCCA Classic and was primarily designed by the renowned Howard Dutch Darrin. It has a strong 356 Cu Inch straight 8 making 168hp and is 7 inches longer than a Packard Standard 8. The paint is very presentable and has excellent chrome. The body has no dents and few scratches. There is cobwebbing in a couple of places as shown in the photographs. The interior is mostly original except for a renewed cloth upholstery and a renewed parcel shelf. The headliner is full of moth holes in front. The dash show it's age. The transmission shifts easily and appears to be in good condition. All of the lights and gages work, as well as the radio. My Classic Car mechanic says that this is one of the most complete cars he has run across. The car comes out of a long stored and dusty barn and the photos show it.Payment by cash or bank transfer and shipping easily arranged.
