1933 Packard 1004 Super Eight (7-Passenger) Sedan
Production figures tell part of the story: only 4,800 examples of the 10th Series Packard were built in 1933, down sharply from nearly 55,000 units sold in 1929. Of those, just 1,327 were Super Eight chassis, making the Model 1004 one of the more exclusive American automobiles of the Depression years.
Riding on a 142-inch wheelbase, the 1004 was offered across 14 body configurations. The 7-passenger Sedan carried a price of $3,090, placing it among the costlier options in the lineup.
Packard’s long-running commitment to refined proportions and quality coachwork is evident throughout, with design sensibilities that remain impressive by any standard.
Beneath the hood, the DeLuxe Eight (renamed Super Eight for 1933) carried a 384.8 cubic-inch side-valve straight-eight producing 145 horsepower at 3,200 rpm through a single Stromberg carburetor. A 3-speed synchromesh transmission and four-wheel servo-assisted mechanical drum brakes completed the mechanical package.
The model holds CCCA Full Classic status.
