Jay Leno welcomes automotive royalty from the famed @TheNethercuttCollection, the 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Victoria Coupe. In an era where the average car struggled to reach 50 horsepower, this factory-built beast was pushing 145 HP from a buttery-smooth 385 cubic inch straight-eight engine.This isn't just a luxury car; it was Packard's "Mustang" for the high-society cad. Priced at a staggering $6,000 in 1930, the equivalent of several luxury homes at the time.
