Powered by Packard's big 384 cubic inch inline eight, the Sixth Series 1929 640 Custom Eight offered power, performance and prestige in the ultimate year of the Roaring Twenties. Today it is recognized as a Classic Car Club of America Full Classic. Built on an impressive 140-inch wheelbase with a long, low hood over the big inline eight-cylinder engine, the 640 Custom Eight exuded Jazz Age presence, exemplified on this 1929 840 Custom Eight Runabout with its cinnamon hood and fenders, grey-green body sides, dark caramel leather, rakish tan cloth top, small Pilot-Ray driving lights, chrome wire wheels, dueal enclosed sidemounts, wide whitewall tires, rumble seat, golf bag door, generous wind wings, radiator stoneguard and donut chaser Radiator mascot.
