1929 Packard 645 Deluxe Eight Roadster

Coachwork by Dietrich
Chassis Number: 174037
Engine Number: 174223
Body Number: Vehicle no. 173885

This Packard Roadster was built on the long 645 Deluxe Eight chassis, to a design by coachbuilder Raymond Dietrich. It is currently in original and unrestored condition, the exception being a new radiator shell, believed to be from a 650, and a new taillight. The current owner's father discovered it resting in a barn in Lexington, Massachusetts. This had been its home for about four decades.
