What is an IDIOT light? 1930 Packard 733 Victoria Coupe

Episode 404 What is an idiot light? 1930 Packard 733 Victoria Coupe / ep404 #theworkshop #riestore #askash https://www.youtube.com/@theworkshopuk?sub_confirmation=1 Packard presented its cars in Series, not model years. It created the impression that Packard made changes to its prestigious automobiles only when Packard thought they were important enough to be warranted. By the late Twenties, however, Packard was making annual changes. They were still presented as new Packard series but they came annually. It did preserve the illusion, however, by choosing its own introduction dates, usually in summer. That had the advantage of giving the new Packard series a period without competition from other marques' new models. In 1929 for the introduction of the Seventh Series it had one further advantage. The August 20 formal introduction gave Packard's Seventh Series models two months more time in the market before the stock market crashed in October and the new car market, even for luxury cars like Packards, began its Depression plunge. Packard's Seventh Series comprised four models, the 726 Standard Eight offered only with factory sedan coachwork, the 733 Standard Eight on a longer 134 ½ inch wheelbase with a variety of catalog coachwork, the 740 Custom Eight had a 140 ½ inch wheelbase and the 745 Deluxe Eight topped the line with 145 ½ inches between the axle center lines. The 740 and 745 had 385 cubic inch 106hp inline eight-cylinder engine.
