A collector's dream!
Packard introduced the 645 Deluxe Eight, a chassis specifically designed for the extravagant custom and semi-custom bodies of the time, before the stock market crashed in 1929. These long-wheelbase cars, with their long hoods and strong and silent nine-main-bearing engines, have come to be regarded by collectors as the ultimate examples of Packard's Sixth Series cars.
Several improvements meant Packard's Sixth Series cars were a cut above the previous year's lineup, as well as the competition's. The suspension featured a shock-absorbed "loose trunnion" suspension system that was remarkably similar to what one might find on a modern-day automobile. This development led to the design of a rocker mount held in place by four short compression springs; road shock was absorbed by the forward and backward movement of this loose trunnion.
The 1929 Packard Deluxe Eight Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton by Dietrich featured here is finished in gorgeous Pewee Green over Highland green with a beautiful, supple tan leather interior. It is among one of the finest Packards available on the market today. This former AACA National First Place winner would be a great addition to any prominent collection.
