To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 9 - 10 October 2024. rnOffered Without Reserve | $40,000 - $60,000 USD rnrnIconic Jazz Age runabout wearing a charming older restorationrnEquipped with Packard's new-for-1929 320-cu.-in. straight-eight rnIdeal configuration for vintage touring; among the most capable prewar cars, eminently enjoyable even todayrnCCCA Full Classicrn rnrnPackard's 1929 models were known as the Sixth Series and saw straight-eights become standard across all model lines. The Sixth Series Standard Eights like the 626 Runabout offered here rode on a 126.5-inch wheelbase and were powered by an all-new 320-cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder engine rated at 90 horsepower and paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Power was effortless with superb torque and uncannily smooth acceleration all the way up to a top speed nearing 80 mph.rnrnUnderneath, the live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf-spring suspension provided superior comfort and roadholding, making the Standard Eight among the most capable prewar cars, eminently enjoyable even today. Also appealing, their characteristic Bijur lubrication system makes routine maintenance less of a chore. Disc wheels were standard equipment, while the dignified dual, side-mounted spares seen on this charming example were an added option.rnrnBenefiting from previous long-term ownership, this handsome Standard Eight is fitted with the seldom seen but highly attractive Runabout body style (352). A perfect configuration for vintage touring, the car wears a charming older restoration in beige over brown upholstery and rides on matching beige disc wheels shod with wide whitewall tires. The car is well-appointed with many desirable period Packard accessories, including bumper-mounted flag holders, wind wings, cowl-mounted chrome spotlights, a bumper-mounted driving light, and a stone guard, to name a few. Packard's signature Goddess of Speed mascot tops the enormous radiator to complete the period appearance. Said to have been garage-kept and used sparingly, it remains incredibly well-preserved but in need of sorting. rnrnRecognized by the Classic Car Club of America as a Full Classic, this Standard Eight Runabout is eligible for CARavans and other events where it will surely be welcome and appreciated once fully recommissioned.  rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
