Seen from a European viewpoint Packard is probably the most desirable make of car. And yes of course we do drive our Model T's and Model A's, and yes we like Chevrolet, and yes we've heard from Duesenberg and yes we know about Chrysler. But Packard has something appealing in its name, in its fame, under its bonnet and of course the highly distinguishable radiator which makes it more attractive than most other americans. Next week Saturday a wide variety of this powerful, high class cars will be up for auction in Westport, Connecticut. You have the choice of straight eight or twelve cylinder cars. And bodystyles ranging from a 'basic' club sedan , a superior 12 cylinder Sedan, an even larger V12 Limousine, a 1928 'coupe chauffeur' town car, a choice of Speedsters (like this 1930 Boattail Runabout ) up to the grand 1930 speedster Phaeton. Not meaning to give you any guidance in this, but our personal Packard pick is the playboy arrogance of the 1929 645 Dietrich Roadster. While work is being carried out on their new website, you can check here for the full inventory of Dragone Winter Auction -December 7.
