To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Arizona event, 24 January 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | $30,000 - $50,000 USD rnrnWell-presented restoration in elegant period-correct colorsrnNumerous desirable accessoriesrnNicely presented, ideal for sorting to take on tours or simply to admire within one's collectionrn rnrnA standout of Packard's stellar Sixth Series of 1929, the 640 Custom Eight was one of the most attractive yet imposing automobiles of the Classic Era. Powered by a seven-main-bearing, 385-cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder engine on a 140?-inch-wheelbase chassis, it was quiet yet powerful, with aggressively elegant styling featuring a very long hood, sweeping fenders, and large oval-backed headlights, which would be a one-year-only feature. Today these are considered among the most beautiful and stately Packards to ever have been produced.rnrnThe 640 Custom Eight offered here retains its original vehicle number plate on the firewall, noting that it was delivered on 27 February 1929 by Packard Lou. Motor Company of Louisville, Kentucky. Based on close inspection of its construction and lines, it is believed to have been born as a sedan, and subsequently professionally converted to the open five-passenger phaeton configuration. It was reportedly restored in 2017 by Gene O'Hara, after which it was acquired in 2018 by Clive and Janet Cussler, to become one of the several beautiful Packards in their collection. Finished in rich deep red with black fenders and accents, matched to a color-coordinated interior and canvas top, it is equipped with color-matched artillery-style wheels, rear compartment footrests, dual side-mounted spares, cowl lights, and wind wings, as well as the iconic Packard Goddess of Speed mascot, better-known to enthusiasts as the donut chaser.rnrnJanet Cussler fondly recalls an auctioneer taking her bids, saying, A woman can never own too many Packards. In considering the statement, she said, I took a cue from Marilyn Monroe that a woman can't have too many diamonds and decided to agree with him! Nicely presented, this would be a fine Packard to sort for the road and enjoy on tours in coming years, or simply to admire within the new owner's collection. It has the grandeur and stature that one expects from a fine Sixth Series Senior Packard.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
