The 1930 Packard 740 Custom Eight Roadster had expansive seating for two and auxiliary space for two more in the rear rumble seat. This particular example was acquired by the current owners in 1989 from Canadian enthusiast Aldo Bigioni. It wears a period shade of dark green over dark red leather and was given a major mechanical service in October 2020. The work included the installation of an electric fuel pump and new overdrive unit, servicing the braking system, restoring the radiator, and rebuilding the starter motor.
Beneath the bonnet is a 385 cubic-inch L-head straight eight-cylinder engine, and period features included the wire wheels, Goddess of Speed radiator mascot, and spotlights.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2024
