1929 Packard 640 Custom Eight Runabout

Michele Hamer
This car was restored with a black finish, red artillery wood spoke wheels and a beige folding top trimmed in saddle leather to match the interior leather on the doors and seats – a color combination believed to be more typical of the era and very authentic for a Sixth Series Packard. The car is in show-quality condition throughout, from the beautifully upholstered rumble seat to the restored and detailed engine bay. The radiator features an optional basket-weave stone guard and is accented by the distinctive Adonis radiator mascot. Other notable extra features include dual spotlights, a wood rail rear-mounted trunk rack, and dual side-mounted spares with tire-mounted rearview mirrors. It sold for a respectable $148,000.
