The Packard Deluxe Eight Sport Phaeton is one of the most desirable of the open Classic Age Packards and possibly one of the company’s most emblematic designs. It is understandable that survivors are appreciated by their owners and are difficult to acquire.
Series 645. 373 body style, 4 door tourer type. 105 hp, 6,300 cm3. Front mounted gasoline atmospheric engine with eight L cylinders and 2 valves per cylinder. The engine drives the wheels thanks to a 3-speed manual gearbox. Front and rear suspension of semi-eliptical leaf springs and servo-assisted mechanical drum brakes on all four wheels.
