`30 Packard Model 733 Standard Eight Four-Door Sedan: A Stately Depression Era Car for the Affluent!

Earlier this summer, I appraised a large collection of vintage vehicles that included this 1930 Packard Model 733 Standard Eight four-door sedan. An older restoration that was going through a limited refurbishment, the vehicle featured Packard’s smooth 320 cubic inch straight eight engine, a four-speed non-synchronized standard transmission, a Bijur suspension lubrication system, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, a hot water heater, and dual front fender-mounted spare tires and wheels, which were temporarily removed to complete some engine work.
