LUGGAGE RACKINCLUDES SIDE CURTAINS AND REAR WINDSCREEN Continuing
to epitomize Americas fine-car market during the early 1930s,
Packards Eleventh Series models continue to rank among the companys
finest today. Debuted in August 1933, they featured a wide range of
handsomely styled bodies combining Raymond Dietrichs foundational
design work and masterfully streamlined flourishes contributed by
award-winning designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. Beautifully skirted
fenders and V-shaped radiator grilles enhanced the style and grace
of the Eleventh Series Packard Models and numerous mechanical
updates delivered greater ease of operation than ever before.
Positioned between the Eight and Twelve lines in Packards model
hierarchy, the Super Eight was offered in three versions: Model
1103 on the 134-7/8 wheelbase, Model 1104 on the 141-7/8 wheelbase
chassis and Model 1105 on the 146-7/8 wheelbase length. Ample power
was delivered by Packards 385 CI inline eight-cylinder engine
developing 145 BHP. Just 1,920 Super Eights of all body styles were
built in all for the 1934 Eleventh Series.This 1934 Packard Super
Eight Model 1104 5-Passenger Phaeton is a splendid example, having
been formerly owned by a noted collector of CCCA Full Classic?
motorcars. Continuing to benefit handsomely from a restoration that
helped it garner CCCA Senior National and Premier Awards, the
Packard remains highly attractive and collector-worthy throughout.
Featuring handsome Navy Blue paint over Blue leather upholstery,
this Super Eight is complemented by a Tan canvas folding top with
chrome plated top bows. Other highlights include dual side mounted
spare tires with chrome mirrors, a drivers side accessory
spotlight, a rear luggage rack and a windscreen for rear
passengers. A rich burled walnut veneer dashboard houses the Super
Eights instruments and desirable Waltham 8-Day clock. As
knowledgeable collectors agree, the Eleventh Series Packard Super
Eights rank among the companys best and most important models. A
well-maintained, award-winning restoration with handsome Phaeton
coachwork, this 1934 Packard Super Eight 1104 5-Passenger Phaeton
is a highly desirable example and very well suited to a wide array
