The newest and finest Packard’s of 1934, the 11th Series, displayed the beautiful lines that contributed to making Packard one of America’s most distinctive and respected motor cars in the Classic Era.

One of only handful of 1934 Packard Twelve Club Sedans built, this car is arguably the best example of its kind in existence. The Packard is driven by the respected 160 horsepower, 445.5 cubic inch V-12 engine that is paired with a three-speed manual transmission that contributes to a welcoming driving experience. The car is fitted with numerous options that includes dual side-mounted and covered spares, luxurious interior appointments, period-correct luggage and trunk, a Packard column-mounted radio that receives six stations with its antenna fitted under a running board, original dual Pilot Ray lights, plus the jack and tools.

The Packard received a complete, frame-off restoration in 2012 and was rewarded with exhibition at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The height of its evolution in 1934, this Packard has the best of both worlds as it can be shown on its wooden wheels with cloisonnes hubcaps or toured extensively with its stout Twelve engine using its wire wheels if needed. Recognized by the Classic Car Club of America as a Full Classic, this comfortable closed passenger car would provide the perfect platform for the entire family on the CCCA’s popular CARavans.

First delivered to Chicago on September 25, 1933 according to its accompanying cowl tag, this Packard is also an Antique Automobile Club of America National First Prize winner and confirms the quality of its presentation. This is a quite uncommon Packard; reliable sources show that the 11th Series (Models 1106, 1107 and 1108) only accounted for 435 cars in 1934, built on over a dozen different body styles.
