History of the 1948-1950 Packard Eight

Packard had survived the Great Depression by doing what major “Three Ps” competitors Peerless and Pierce-Arrow could not do. and that was to build a new factory. design a new car from the ground up and introduce mass-production techniques for a mid-priced automobile to be built alongside the “senior” cars introduced as the 120. as 1935 cars.

Paradoxically for Packard. the savior “cheaper” cars became the millstone over time by diluting the prestige of the marque. Before the Second World War. Packard was still building senior 356 cubic inch inline-eight cars separately from the smaller cars. which ran much smaller inline-sixes and inline-eights of 245 and 282 cubic inches. respectively. To further their competitive condition. Packard commissioned Howard “Dutch” Darrin to develop a new line for mid-1941 introduction known as the Clipper. Bodies were not produced by Packard but contracted to Briggs Body in Detroit in order to save costs. They sold very well. and the cars were brought back postwar and ended up as the basis for all Packard cars. both “junior” and “senior”. with larger cars having longer front ends for the massive 356 inline-eight. This meant that all Packard bodies were now sourced by Briggs. except for commercial hearse and ambulance.
