GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2023-01-18 14:15	Where they called Club Sedans because the cars were essentially the size of a nightclub? -- Last edit: 2023-01-18 14:15:21

Lateef ◊ 2023-01-18 22:16	We call it Standard Eight here, and I believe it was used internally by Packard as well.
supcoach ◊ 2023-01-19 01:31	I am just going by what is on the Packard brochure

The only time Packard Eight on its own is useful for a full ID would be to refer to the 1938 Junior Packard Eight (better known as One-Twenty), which was so named for that year only.
