This 1937 Packard Super 8 Convertible Sedan is absolutely gorgeousexample and was a previous national award winning Full Classic. By1937, most of Packard's American luxury automaker contemporaries,such as Duesenberg, Auburn, Cord, Pierce-Arrow, Peerless, Marmon,and Stutz, had succumbed to the poor economic conditions brought onby the Great Depression or would fail very soon. However, 1937 wasa remarkable year for Packard! The luxury American automaker wasseemingly on the up and up, after having a strong rebound from theeconomic effects of the Great Depression in the early half of thedecade. Part of Packard's rebound was thanks to Packard's entryinto the mid-level car market, which made the high-end Packard'smore affordable and thus attainable to the average consumer.Packard's 1937 passenger car lineup was essentially divided intotwo categories, the Junior Packards consisting of the 115 and 120,and the Senior Packards consisting of the Super Eight and theTwelve. When the 1937 Super 8 was introduced in September 1936,they were loaded with technological and stylistic updates. Onetechnological improvement in 1937 was the addition of "Safe-T-Flex"independent front suspension, which made for a smoother ride.Additionally, Packard introduced hydraulic drum brakes in '37Fifteenth Series, which provided additional stopping powerespecially over the mechanical braking systems used in previousgenerations. Stylistically, the 15th Series Super Eight alsosported newly redesigned front and rear bumpers, along with a newfront grille and radiator that were now raked back 30 degrees.Packard also moved the front door hinges from the rear to thefront, thereby removing the front "suicide" doors found in theprevious two Packard series.
