Meticulous Restoration -
This elegant 1929 Packard Model 640 Limousine is virtually better-than-new and runs down the road gracefully. The meticulous restoration, said to be frame-off, left nothing to chance and is stunning. The vintage limousine body was beautifully refinished in Packard Black. All chrome and stainless, including the 'Flying Goddess of Speed' radiator ornament, is outstanding. Exterior accents include full running boards, dual fender-mounted spare tires, chrome mirrors and meticulous pin stripping. A pair of adjustable spotlights are mounted on the front cowl and factory 20" steel wheels with trim rings are fitted with period-correct whitewall bias-ply tires. There is a handsome padded vinyl roof with landau bars and a rear-mounted carrier with classic luggage trunk. The interior has been restored to a like-original appearance. The front seat is black leather, and the rear passenger compartment is correctly upholstered in wool broadcloth. A handsome walnut dashboard is fitted with original gauges and the curved glass 'privacy divider' window with roll-up center glass functions flawlessly. There is also an 'intercom' system between the driver/passenger compartment with microphone and speaker. The entire interior of this classic Packard is simply extraordinary.
Packard Straight-Eight Power -
The big Packard is powered by what is believed to be the original Packard 385ci 'Straight-Eight' flathead engine that has been completely rebuilt. This flathead provides over 100 unleashed horsepower and is backed by a non-synchronized 3-speed manual transmission. The undercarriage looks as good as the top side, featuring a semi-elliptical leaf spring suspension and 4-wheel Bendix mechanical drums brakes.
This stately Packard Model 640 Limousine is more than ready for your next hometown parade or summer cruise-in.
