1934 Packard Twelve Factory Custom Coupe

This 1934 Packard Twelve Factory Custom Five-Passenger Coupe with chassis number 737-24 and engine number 902412 was sold new to the Q.H. Ball Packard Company of Troy, N.Y. on July 21st, 1934. It was accompanied by a bill for $6800. It was ordered as a 737 five-passenger coupe and with additional factory customization took an extra three months to complete. The large body trunk provided extra room for luggage while the trunk rack had one less horizontal bar when compared to the traditional offerings. The bar was removed so it would not detract from the body trunk line.

It is finished in a dark blue with a light blue pinstripe accenting the curves and body lines. It has dual side-mounted spare tires with whitewall tires, V-shaped headlights, twin fender-mounted accessory lights, and an exhaust heater. The exhaust heater sent the heat from the muffler to the floor of the passenger compartment.
