The 1930 Packard Speedster Eight model, powered by Packard's traditional straight-eight engine, was offered in several magnificent body styles. Its Speedster name wasn't linked to its body style, but rather the high-performance nature of its chassis and its powerful 145 horsepower engine. The car was equipped with modern finned brakes, making it one of the truly great touring cars of the Classic Era. Packard built 118 Speedsters in 1930 but only 21 examples are known to survive, three of them Phaetons.
This Speedster Phaeton was first sold to wealthy socialite Alan Rutherford Stuyvesant, who used it in both the United States and France. It was later owned by George Jepson, one of the founders of the Classic Car Club of America.
