I had the pleasure of spending Saturday with the car.
The engine turns freely with out coaxing or adding top oil!
I am a little confused however, the vehicle number is 277678 while the engine number is 277764 and the frame number is 277744. Did they not "match" numbers in 1930?

Thank you SLC, I've been out of town and unable to post.
Your thoughtful and in depth responce is most appreciated.

Thank you Mal. Your step by step instructions are most appreciated. Might take me a while to work this picture thing out but now I think I can do it.

Got a barn find model 726 last Sunday. am signed up with the site. search don't search. so how do i register the car in the registry?

I see your from around LA. I've just moved to Glendale and am sitting on a one week old barn find 1930 Standard Eight Sedan. Is there a Packard club or group close by? Viking

thank you. The car was just inherited by my girl friend. Sadly for me, she intends to sell it.

Last Sunday we found a 1930 model 726 in a garage where it has sat for around 25 years. It is amazingly straight, unmolested, atleast 95% complete with an interior trashed by age. The paint is origional and maybe about 50% there.
The soft part of the roof has collapsed and we don't know if the engine is stuck or not. Does any one have thoughts about its current value?
