This Packard is the recipient of a complete body-off, frame-up restoration. Only the paint, trim work and chroming were outsourced.
Three Packard models were available for 1930 - - the company's Seventh Series - - the 733, 740 and 745. The 740 and 745 models shared Packard's venerable 384 cubic inch straight eight motor that developed 106 horsepower.
New for 1930 were a four-speed transmission and Detroit Lubricator updraft carburetor. Parking lamps were now fender-mounted and all glass was shatterproof. The side-mounted spares and disc wheels were optional.

A different era car. When each car manufacturer designed their own look. Beautiful car.
