Founded in 1899, Packard quickly established itself as one of the leading manufacturers of luxury cars in the United States, with a very wealthy clientele such as the Governor of New York State and future President Franklin Roosevelt, as well as a foreign clientele. Leopold III, King of the Belgians, gave one to his wife Queen Astrid. Built to exacting specifications, Packards were among the finest pre-war American cars. In 1936, several versions of the Super 8 were produced between 1935 and 1937, including sedans, coupes and convertibles. Packard was the first manufacturer to offer air conditioning.
