Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) - Lot 356
Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Gouache on card stock 36 x 62.5 cm (signs of moisture, mold, and soiling) Notes: "The 734 has become a rare item coveted by collectors. It was produced for only one year. Its top speed of 160 km/h was guaranteed by the manufacturer. Its engine, an improved version of the familiar 6.2-liter, was an inline-eight that reportedly produced 145 CV at 3,200 rpm. While three-speed transmissions were common in the U.S., this Packard was equipped with a four-speed transmission with widely spaced gears. Its sloping, bow-shaped rear end—very common in Europe at the time—suited it particularly well.” Bibliography: P. DUMONT, *Aux Temps Des Automobilistes*, Lazarus Publishing, 1965; our gouache reproduction appears on p. 139.
