1930 Packard Deluxe Eight Dual low mileage impressive car
Preservation Class 1930 Packard Deluxe Eight Dual Cowl Phaeton
It shows just 15,628 miles on the odometer, a figure believed to be actual. A low mileage car and impressive for the condition of its original surfaces, mechanical function and the overall survivor qualities that it proudly displays to this day. The dual cowl body style it wears has long been regarded by collectors as being the most desirable configuration and is continually sought after by Packard enthusiasts.
Fitted with what appears to be a 740 Dual Cowl Phaeton body, which is identical in size to a 745, it is our belief that this body has been on the car since new, or very close to it, since these vehicles were almost always custom ordered. The still vibrant largely original paint on the dark green body is impressive for its condition. In a stable state with expected patina throughout, the mere presence of the lacquer, single stage paint lends credence to the notion of a car that has led a charmed 90-year life with minimal use. The rear fenders have received a coat of in recent years to repair a light dent, while the front fenders still retain the original paint. As a compliment to the original paint, the ample chrome throughout the car is in excellent original condition. Of note, and in particularly well-preserved original condition, are the optional front grill that covers the radiator shutters at the front of the car along with the original and less prevalent Adonis (sliding boy) hood ornament. As a detail for Packard buffs, even the original green gem pieces on the headlights remain in place, as are the innovative original Pilot Ray driving lamps that move side to side in concert with the steering. The interior of this survivor Packard is a fitting match for the other original aspects of the car. The driver's compartment is well preserved with original leather, paint, chrome, gauges and wood. The green leather that lines the doors is original as well, a feature of the car that is so undeniably rare for an open car from this era that it is fairly characterized as unique. Gauges and switches in the cabin function properly and remain in original condition.
