straight-eights
Eight cylinders aligned
Straight-eights refers to an inline eight-cylinder engine configuration where all eight cylinders are arranged in a single row.
This design was popular in luxury and high-performance automobiles from the 1920s through the 1950s, prized for its smooth power delivery and refinement.
The straight-eight largely disappeared from production as V8 engines proved more compact and economical to manufacture.
My grandfather's Packard had a straight-eight under the hood.
