It&#8217;s Speedster name was not descriptive of the body type, but more the high performance nature of the chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Five factory bodies were offered on the 734 Speedster. Runabout with a rumble seat, Boattail Runabout or Phaeton were offered for $5,200. The<br \/>\nVictoria and Sedan bodies cost $6,000.<\/p>\n<p>A redesigned chassis was used for the 734 that used many 6th-series components with custom side rails. It retained the Super Eights wheelbase of 134.5 inches but was more rigid.<\/p>\n<p>The nine-main bearing engine was modified with a ribbed exhaust manifold, vacuum boost pump and a new 45 degree intake that allowed for a hemispherical combustion chamber. An optional 6.0:1 cylinder head used larger vavles to produce 145 bhp @ 3400 rpm<\/p>\n<p>Because Packard didn&#8217;t actively promote the model, only 113 cars were made across all body styles.<\/p>\n<p>Many Seventh series cars have been modified to mimic the 734 traits so finding an original example is tough. As early as 1950, Smith Hempstone Oliver created the 734 registry.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1930-packard-734-speedster-gallery\/\">1930 Packard 734 Speedster
