In early motoring a famous phrase was used when referring to American Luxury cars, “The Three P’s of Luxury,” which included Peerless, Pierce-Arrow and Packard. Notable changes to the 1931 Packard included an increase in horsepower to 100-hp, the addition of a 4.07 rear axle to the options list, a Stewart-Warner fuel pump replaced the vacuum design and the cars now featured vacuum-operated Bijur lubrication.
This 1931 Packard Custom Eight Sport Phaeton carries the desirable open body that features two windshields with windwings for front and rear passengers to travel in comfort. Additionally there is a luggage rack, grille guard, radiator mascot and dual side-mounted spares. The car rides on whitewall tires with red wire wheels and Packard hubcaps. The car is powered by a 320-cid eight-cylinder engine paired to a four-speed manual transmission. The red leather interior features a wood dashboard with individual storage compartments for the driver and passenger. This stunning Packard is sure to make a great addition to any collection.
