1930 Packard 733 Convertible Coupe Listed on behalf of Monte Shelton Motors Located in PORTLAND, REGON. With the stock market crash in October or 1929, ackard saw their stock drop from approximatly $140 per share to a low of .50 cents! Despite the dire economic prospects of the country, or 1930 Packard continued to create soem of the most luxurious and glamorous cars that would ever be seen on the road, uch as this Model 733 Convertible Coupe. Priced at $2,550.00 (At a time when the average annual working wage was $1,368.00!), hese were cars for those who had weathered the storm of the Great Depression. While the early history of this car is unknown, bout 10 years ago it underwent a comprehensive, rame-off restoration of the highest quality. No nut or bolt was left untouched. The results were stunning and remain so today. Since restoration, his car has traveled just 711 miles, ccording to the odometer. It has recently been made available from a private collection here in the Northwest. The car is stunning on all levels. The paint and chrome are gorgeous. Deep black paint with complimenting red pinstripe. All trim was re-plated. The wire wheels were disassembled with the rims and hubs painted red and the spokes brightly chromed. Whether moving or standing still, t garners attention. The interior was fully restored in deep red leather which is in excellent condition throughout, ncluding the rumble seat. The convertible top was replaced and is also exceptional (we are told it has not been lowered since restoration, hich would account for no creases or wear noted.) Gauges are beautiful and register accurately. Mechanically, his car is excellent, ith rebuilt 320 cubic inch straight 8. Runs whisper-quiet as a Packard should, ith plenty of power for modern traffic. Tremendous torque. Transmission shifts crisply. Brakes stop the car smooth and straight. A pleasure to drive. If you are looking for a Classic Packard that is turn-key and ready to show or go anywhere, his is a great one. Will be welcomed at all Packard Club and Classic Car Club of America events, hows and tours. A realistic reserve has been placed on this car in keeping with its quality and rarity.
