Equipment
Gray artillery wheels, Lincoln wide whitewall tires, two sidemount spares with vinyl covers on driver's side, Warner speedometer, suicide rear doors, brass headlamps, driving lights, windshield frame, mirrors and door handles, wood dash, rear luggage rack.
Condition
Brass Era magnificence. Good, not fresh paint, brass and upholstery. Older restoration reflects its age but also the exceptional standards to which it was done. Restored by Phil Hill after he acquired it from the Roderic Blood collection in the 1960s. Shown at Pebble Beach in 1973 and 1999, where it won Best in Class, then shown in 2013 by the Hill family and again won Best in Class.
Market commentary
With this car's history and the strength of its older restoration it's no surprise it brought a premier price. Phil Hill's affinity for antique Packards was formed at a young age and is no less illustrious after his death. The new owner got full value for money with this Model 30, and significant bragging rights.
