1929 Packard

The Cheshire Life magazine used to sponsor the Concours d'Elegance at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy Meetings at Oulton Park and there was a parade of the entrants between two of the races during the meeting. This is a photograph I took at Old Hall Corner of one of the cars on the parade at the June 1973 meeting.

The only information in the programme of the event is that it is a 1929 Packard and was entered by H.U.P. Edwards. The DVLA now has no record of 620 WJH and I can only assume that it's been repatriated to the USA at some time in the intervening years. As far as I can ascertain all 1929 Packards were produced with straight-8 engines of either 319 cu in (5.2 litres) or 384 cu in (6.3 litres).
