The 640 Custom Eights were among the most attractive and imposing of the Classic Era, with long hoods, sweeping fenders and large oval-backed headlights (a one-year-only feature). Design features abounded, from bright molding around the cowl to a drop molding along the belt line that could be accented with a contrasting color décor panel. This Packard is a highly original example of a rare coupe variant. The unusual Opera Coupe featured a more generous coupe configuration with a full and well-appointed back seat. The driver seat is flanked by a small occasional type seat. This body style was likely meant for a chauffeur and foot man with the primary occupants riding in the well-appointed rear seats.

The interior even still has that wonderful new car smell, and the interior and exterior are simply stunning on this very rare find.
