Did these have the 384 engine?

No, this should have the 320 ci engine,

same as my 733 Touring 7-passenger

Nice car.  But Brown/Beige is a tough sell.  At least the wheels are not red.

Also appears to have a vinyl interior, typical colors and upholstery for a 1970s restoration.  Looks like a nice car but an old restoration shouldn’t bring that kind of money.

I like the car, and I don’t hate the colors. The seller says it is mint condition. The pictures of the dash don’t reflect that and as others mentioned, I’m not sure the interior is leather. 

 

I think the real problem is for the smallest open car Packard had in 1930 with the small engine/320 (The 726 was only offered as a seven passenger sedan) this 733 is priced at what I think a nice driver 740 touring or Phaeton without a rear windscreen might bring. If you’re going to pony up close to 150K, I think people would buy the 140.5 inch wheelbase and 385 engine. 
 

that said, a nice car at a more modest price.
