Backing this stout engine is a three-speed column-shift manual transmission with factory "Econo-drive" overdrive. This automobile is equipped with a new wiring harness, Senior driving lamps and thermostatic shutters that are in working order.

The exterior is fitted with turn signals, rear-mounted trunk rack, red painted wheels with triple pin striping and like new hubcaps. The exterior is finished elegantly with Navy paint, and a new Navy convertible top with the correct convertible boot. All of the top irons are reported to be like new, along with the glass and birghtwork which shows exceptionally well. The interior has been correctly restored with tan leather upholstery. The cabin is also tailored with excellent woodgraining throughout and restored dash instrumentation. All of the instrumentation, including the original clock, gauges and radio, are said to be in working order.

The Packard Super Eight has complete ownership from new and a reproduction owner's manual. The original owner that purchased this Packard new willed the car to her butler. It was then purchased by Surveyor in 1973 with approximately 62,000 miles. It was then purchased by Universal Studios in 1989 and displayed at Spruce Goose/ Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. It was then restored to high standards over several years by the next owner with approximately 70,000 miles.
