1929 640 Roadster

1929 640 Roadster owned by Bob & Yvonne Davis

We acquired the 1929 640 Roadster in early 2007 from the Clem Ryan collection. Clem had bought this car in Sydney many years ago as an original roadster and during his ownership he made various maintenance repairs on the car. Then it was stored for many years and a few members of the club were able to see it from time to time.
Clem loved this car and was very reluctant to part with it, but, time goes by and eventually we were able to bring it to its new home. Despite years of storage, the motor started immediately (after the usual re commissioning exercise) and the car drives very well.

We removed the electric fuel pump, returning to the original vacuum tank and a couple of other “modern improvements” as the 640 does not need “modern improvements” (other than safety requirements) to be a very reliable and nice car to drive. On the open road it just eats up the miles in true Packard fashion.
