The Packard Eight was a luxury automobile produced by Packard between 1930 and 1938.Offered in three models, the Standard Eight, Custom Eight, and De Luxe Eight, it was powered by a low-compression aluminum-head L-head inline eight producing 90 bhp (67 kW) (hence the name). Packard ads bragged the engine "floated" on new rubber mounts. Power would be upgraded to 110 hp (82 kW) in 1932 and 120 hp (89 kW) in 1933.The Eight offered optional (no extra cost) four-speed synchromesh transmission.
