Coupe Roadster Chassis Num: 903-111   Sold for $181,500 at 2011 RM Auctions. This Packard Twelve Coupe Roadster is the 111th of 3,587 Twelves built in 1935 and the 38th of only 51 Coupe Roadsters built. It is equipped with a trunk rack, wire wheels, dual open side-mounted spare tires with mirrors, Trippe lights, radio, Cormorant hood ornament and aftermarket turn signals to aid modern-day touring. It was sold new on March 22nd of 1935 at the W.H. Collins, Inc. Packard dealership in Hollywood, CA. In the 1970s, it was acquired by a California collector and restorer who retained it for four decades. During that time, it was treated to a high quality restoration around 1990, finishing it in two-tone Green color scheme which it wears today. It won a National First Place badge from the Classic Car Club of America. The car has a battery cut-off switch and two six-volt batteries connected with a solenoid which allows for starting on twelve-volts and operation on six-volts. There is also an electric fuel pump to aid starting after a period of storage In 2011, this car was offered for sale at the Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $190,000 - $220,000. Bidding reached $181,500 but was not enough to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. It would leave the auction unsold. By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2011
