1929 Packard 640 Custom Eight

This 1929 Packard 640 Custom Eight Club Sedan represents the luxury offering of the Packard Sixth Series, combining formal style with the robust performance of the inline-eight engine. Reconditioned, the car is finished in blue with a black roof, hood and fenders over a gray cloth interior. Power is provided by a 384.8 horsepower L-head inline-eight engine, mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The 384.8ci straight-eight engine features nine main bearings and an updraft carburetor, and it was factory rated at 105 horsepower at 3,200 rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission with reverse. This Sixth Series Custom Eight exemplifies Packard’s hallmark blend of engineering refinement, formal elegance, and pre-war American luxury.
