The 1931 Packard 840 Deluxe Eight represented the pinnacle of Packards renowned straight-eight lineup, blending refined engineering with elegant styling during the depths of the Great Depression. Powered by Packards smooth and powerful 384.8-cubic-inch inline eight, the 840 delivered effortless performance while maintaining the marques reputation for exceptional quality and reliability. Buyers could choose from an impressive range of factory body styles, including sedans, club sedans, touring cars, phaetons, sport phaetons, roadsters, coupes, and convertible coupes, with additional semi-custom bodies available from Packard and prestigious coachbuilders.
One of the more desirable body styles to grace the 1931 Packard chassis, this 840 Deluxe Eight Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton example is 1 of approximately 97 built and said to be one of fewer than a dozen to survive today. While early history of this Packard is unknown, known owners can be traced back to the 1950s when it was under the watchful eye of Packard collector Owen Fraking of upstate New York. Under his care for an extended period of time, Mr. Fraking retained this example, still said to be in original condition, until his passing in 2000. This example was then acquired by the McGowan brothers of Connecticut, who two years later sold it to Doug Bredbury. After retaining ownership for three years, he sold it back to one of the McGowan brothers, who then sold it to a Canadian collector in 2007. In the years to follow, this rare 840 Deluxe Eight was treated to a multi-year comprehensive restoration where the body was removed from the chassis. Similarl
