1930 Packard Deluxe Eight

About This Vehicle

The Packard Motor Car Company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality cars, and by the 1920s had become one of the leading luxury car manufacturers in the United States. The Deluxe Eight Sport Phaeton was first introduced in 1928 and built until 1939, designed to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln. Superbly designed by Ray Dietrich, this Sport Phaeton was first sold new in Pasadena, California. Presented in red with dark red fenders, beltline accent, and beautiful chrome wire wheels, it has tan leather upholstery, a beige cloth top, and a full set of matching side curtains. Accessories include classic wide whitewall tires, a stainless steel radiator stone guard, Packard 'donut-chaser' radiator cap mascot, Packard driving lights, a hinged dual cowl with windshield to protect rear seat passengers, dual side mounts with chrome covers and strap-on mirrors, luggage trunk, front wind wings, and dual spotlight. Recognized as a CCCA Full Classic — the Classic Car Club of America's list of approved classics from 1915–1948. One of the most attractive cars of the Classic Era, benefiting from Packard inline-eight performance and 110 horsepower.
