1930 Packard 733 Convertible Coupe, click on picture to enlargeAlthough the 733 models were the smallest luxury cars Packard offered, they were by no means less appealing. The 733 came on a 134.5 inch wheelbase and was powered by a 319 cid straight eight with 90 hp at 3200 rpm. It had a 4 speed selective gear transmission with an additional low gear. The Standard Eight Convertible Coupe shown here was restored both mechanically and cosmetically. It is equipped with a luggage box for touring and pilot ray driving lights which turned with the wheels so that the car and the lights were always in the same direction. The coupe would cruise easily at fifty miles per hour and above, which was fast in those days, and it cost $2,660 new off the assembly line.
