The 1938 Packards just like the 1937 Packards continued to sell like hotcakes.The Super Eights in this year used 134” wheel base; the new Packard hydraulic brakes and independent front suspension was a great selling point.
The 1938 Packard Super Eight 5 passenger coupe has always been considered a highly attractive model and was as close as the Super Eight series got to a 2-door coupe.The important thing to note here is that at Packard’s meets and shows you can very often see just about every other Packard body style but the 2-door sedans are extremely rare.
The car that you see in this eBay ad is out of a long-time collection that was restored some time back and has been taken wonderful care of to preserve the car. It is an older restoration that shows very well.It has always performing exactly as it should.It starts, stops and drives down the road at highway speeds.With its new hydraulic braking system and the independent front suspension it even outperforms the Packards of earlier eras which were already known to be wonderful handling and driving cars.

This car starts, stops and runs as it should and certainly will please the new owner to no end.For your convenience, the car is fitted with an after market directional signal located on the steering column.
We can only suggest that you check out the pictures and you will know why it is highly unlikely that when you attend a major classic car show that you would see another Packard of this model.The reserve on this Packard is very fair (please don’t ask) and the new owner will be duly impressed.Owning a Packard is always a matter of pride of ownership.
