Runabout Speedster Coachwork: LeBaron Chassis Num: 1106-12   This Packard 1108 Runabout Speedster has a unique body by LeBaron. The car gives the illusion of motion even at a standstill. There are torpedo fenders and a boat-tail rear-end. The long front end conceals a 7.3-liter twelve-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 160 horsepower. The long hood sweeps over the cowl, creating the illusion that the vehicle is larger in length than one would expect. This design was created by Ed Macauley who was Packard's design chief. Design influences from Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, a design consultant since 1932, are also apparent. There were just 960 examples of the 12-cylinder Packard constructed in 1934. Five were give LeBaron Sport Phaeton bodies. This 1934 Packard 1108 Runabout Speedster with coachwork by LeBaron was on display at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It is finished in a blue paint scheme and was delivered on 4-16-1935. By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2007
