Packard was the luxury car leader from the 1900's through the 1930's producing large, expensive automobiles in their huge Detroit factory. From a single assembly line they were able to accommodate many fine products, keeping costs down, but disallowing the frequent model changeovers of larger companies like Ford and General Motors. Rather than the annual new models, Packard preferred 'Series' changes at less regular intervals.

For 1929, Packard offered four distinct series of automobiles, each designation having a parallel to the car's wheelbase - the 626 and 633 Standard Eights, the 640 Custom Eight and 645 Deluxe Eight series.

The new Standard Eight series replaced the Packard Six, which was discontinued.

The Model 626 was available as a 5-passenger sedan, 2/4-Passenger Coupe and the Convertible Coupe.

The Packard Model 633 was their mid-priced car and positioned to compete with Cadillac's very successful LaSalle brand. The Model 633 rode on a 133 inch wheelbase and was powered by a 319 cubic-inch straight eight engine producing 90 horsepower. One of the most popular Packard models was the 633 seven passenger sedan.

Introduced on August 1, 1928, the Packard Model 645 also fell under the designation of the Custom Eight line, or the Deluxe Eight series on September 8, 1928. Around 2,061 units of the Packard 645 were produced, and were easily identified by the Round-Back Headlamps that replaced the earlier drum-type.
