1934 Packard 1107 Twelve Coupe Roadster

Many consider the 1934 models the high point in Packard styling and engineering. This Bruin Brown car with matching brown leather upholstery was sold new by Packard's most well-known west-coast dealer, Earl C. Anthony. Riding on Packard's 142-inch wheelbase and powered by its smooth 445.5 cubic-inch / 160 horsepower L-head V-12, the coupe-roadster cost $3,850 new before options. Standard equipment on the V-12 was V-shaped headlight lenses and a harmonically balanced bumper, items that were optional on the lower-series Packards. While Packard's last true factory-bodied roadster was last offered in 1931, the company continued calling its two-door 2/4-passenger convertible a coupe-roadster despite the fact that it was fitted with roll-up windows.

Packard was referred to as one of the 'Three Ps' of automotive aristocracy, along with Pierce-Arrow and Peerless. Both Pierce-Arrow and Peerless succumbed to the Great Depression and were gone by the end of the 1930s. Packard, once owning a full 50 percent of the luxury car market, was able to survive the 1930s and remain on top of their game.

The current owners are the fourth caretakers of this Packard.
