SELLER REMARKS

If you're a Packard man. you've already examined this 1930 5-passenger phaeton pretty carefully. Few cars of the period are more desirable. and with a nice older restoration. this is an A-list tour candidate that reminds us all why Packards in particular are such treasured heirlooms.


With all the high-fashion restorations that created gaudy color combinations on these cars in the '90s and 00s. it's really nice to see one wearing period-correct Dove Gray with dark blue details. Add in some (very) minor patina and you have a striking. imposing. and quite correct-looking Packard. The 5-passenger touring bodywork is one of the more highly-prized choices available that year. and the rakish phaeton looks even better in person than in photos - it's just imposing. The restoration was extremely well done. and you can see how well the doors fit (often a challenge on wood-framed open bodies) and that long. long hood fits tight without fighting. Notable details include dual sidemounts and a rear trunk rack. adding to the sporting appearance. The chrome trim is beautifully done. from the Adonis hood ornament (AKA "the sliding boy") and traditional Packard grille shell. to the wonderfully curved bumpers that protect the rear fenders.


The blue leather interior was restored to replicate the factory look. too. and has that inviting look that's impossible to restore into a car it has to be earned. The doors open wide enough that it's easy to get in and the simple door panels each offer a useful storage pocket for maps and small tools. The controls shouldn't be confusing; after all it was Packard who first used the now-familiar H-pattern for shifting the 3-speed manual transmission and the pedals are arranged in the usual fashion. The woodgrained dash is very well restored and features a complete array of instrumentation in a symmetrical layout. The levers on the steering wheel are for the hand throttle and headlights and there's a glove box for both driver and passenger. In back. legroom is astounding. and they've thoughtfully provided a foot rest. robe rail. and a small storage compartment behind the front seat. The tan canvas top remains in very good order. folding easily into a neat stack behind the seats.


Packard's base engine was a 320 cubic inch straight-8 that purred to the tune of about 105 horsepower. Not impressive today. but it was a big number for 1930 when Fords were making 40. But the real story is torque. and this big straight-8 loafs along on a creamy-smooth wave of power that moves it effortlessly from 5 MPH in top gear all the way to a 55 MPH cruising speed. The engines are legendary for their durability and smoothness. and while it shows some signs of use. it remains a great runner that's ready to go. The restoration work was done correctly and the many components show correct finishes. The transmission is a non-synchronized 3-speed manual. so brush-up on your double-clutching. but thanks to towering 4. 69 gears out back. you really shouldn't need to do much of it. Brakes are mechanical drums all around. and compared to many of its contemporaries. the Packard is impressive in the braking department. Disc wheels were an option. and it's nice to see them painted to match the body instead of chromed. which was popular for many years. and they're especially well-dressed in a set of 7. 00-19 blackwall tires.


For Packard fans. this is a rare treat. and if you're looking to acquire a top-tier Full Classic for touring. this is an outstanding candidate. Call today!
