About the 1940 Packard 180 Custom Super Eight

The 180 Custom Super Eight represents Packard at its pre-war zenith, showcasing the marque's engineering excellence and luxury craftsmanship. Built on Packard's longest wheelbase, the 180 series featured the company's magnificent 356 cubic inch straight-eight engine producing 160 horsepower, impressive output for 1940. The Custom Super Eight designation indicated Packard's finest coachwork and appointments, with hand-fitted interiors and meticulous attention to detail. Production of approximately 3,000 units over three years makes survivors relatively rare today. These cars represented American luxury at its finest, competing directly with Cadillac's Sixteen and Lincoln's Continental. The 180's combination of mechanical sophistication, elegant styling, and historical significance as one of the last great pre-war American luxury cars makes it highly desirable among collectors of classic American automobiles.
