For many, the 1934 Packards, which the factory dubbed the Eleventh Series, represent the height of the company’s prewar efforts. They were the final models with traditional open fenders—albeit gently skirted—and the upright radiator shell for which the company had become well-known. In addition, the chassis’ adjustable Ride Control suspension and Bijur automatic lubrication produced a car that was a dream to drive. Books have been written solely about this model year of Packard, and it is widely considered among the most beautiful and eminently enjoyable of all Classic Era production automobiles.
The most desirable body style on this chassis is the sumptuous two-passenger Coupe Roadster, which had styling inspired by a “semi-custom” design provided by LeBaron in 1931, including the distinctive convertible top that folds flush with the body.
The Super Eight Coupe Roadster offered here is one of approximately 20 examples known to survive and was added to the current owner’s collection in 2008. Just a year later, the car was sent out to receive a restoration that has stood the test of time thanks to diligent care. The exterior sports a cream body with beige belt molding, orange wire-spoked wheels, and a black convertible top. In addition, this Packard is fashioned with a number of factory options, including dual driving lights, dual horn trumpets, and dual side-mounted tires with covers, as well as mirrors, V-lensed headlights, and a luggage rack.
Every collector should experience the joy of owning a 1934 Packard, and this example, a Coupe Roadster in charming colors on the well-balanced Super Eight chassis, is ripe for the choosing. It would be equally at home at a regional concours, Classic Car Club of America CARavan, Antique Automobile Club of America tour, or Packard Club event.
