1931 Packard Model 840 DeLuxe Eight Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton

For 1931 Packard produced two series of cars, the models 826 and 833 called the Packard Standard Eight, and the models 840 and 845 called the Packard DeLuxe Eight. Their series descriptions explained that the cars were Packard's 8th series straight eights, and the final two numbers indicate the wheelbase length. Hence this 8th series Deluxe Eight rides on a 140-inch wheelbase as is one of approximately 100 of its body type built in 1931. It was originally delivered to its first owner in Seattle.
