Packard’s 1929 models were known as the Sixth Series and saw straight eights become standard across all model lines. The so-called “standard eights,” such as that offered here, rode a 126.5-inch wheelbase chassis, with power from an all-new 90-horsepower, 319.2-cubic inch inline eight-cylinder engine. Five disc wheels were standard equipment, but the dressy dual side-mounted spares, were an additional $130. They were part of the Deluxe Equipment package, which also included the chrome plating on the cowl band and cowl lamps, as well as an accessory trunk rack.

The convertible coupe offered here, an unusual and seldom-seen but highly attractive body style, is equipped with the Deluxe Equipment package, as well as a chrome mesh grille guard and driving lights. Properly restored some years ago in its present period-correct black finish with matching convertible top, tobacco interior, and red striping, it has an imposing and authentic appearance. Moreover, it has pleased the judges, as it was awarded a National First Prize at the 1991 CCCA Florida Grand Classic, as recognized by badge number 1579. Having been well-kept since its restoration, the car has only minimal use and wear over the years, and it remains in wonderful condition.

Ready to be shown and enjoyed, this car will be the delight of any Packard Club, CCCA, or, certainly, AACA meet.
