The Packard Eight was a luxury automobile produced by Packard between 1924 and 1936,[2] and was an all new platform that took the top market position from the earlier Packard Twin Six which was first introduced in 1916.[3] When it was introduced, it was designated as the senior Packard. It remained so until the Super Eight and Custom Super Eight were introduced in the 1940s.[4]
