1930 PACKARD SPEEDSTER 8 RUNABOUT
Packard’s creative engineers and body stylists fathered very remarkable and exceptional cars. One model was the 734 Boattail Speedster. It was designed as a fast sports car of its day: high performance, even higher rate of speed, and strong suspension to take sharp curves.
The bodies were exotic. Having a lighter weight than most roadsters and a four-speed transmission, the big eight cylinder, 384-cubic–inch straight engine with 150 horsepower, could boost the Speedster down the road at around 100 miles an hour.
Approximately only 118 of these cars were produced. The 734 Speedster Registry estimates that there are only twenty-six Packard Speedsters, in its various body styles over the years, in existence today.
