1934 Packard 1104 Super Eight Phaeton

  • Chassis Number: 753234
  • Engine Number: 753156
  • Body Number: Vehicle No. 761-17
The Packard 1104 Super Eight, with a length of 142 inches, was produced from August 1933 until August 1934 alongside the shorter 1103 and longer 1105. The 11th series is often considered to be the ultimate Senior Packard as it was the last car with classic swept fender lines before the advent of a more streamlined look. The 1934 1104s were offered in a variety of body styles that included the Coupe, Coupe-Roadster, Phaeton, Sedan, Club Sedan, Convertible Sedan, Formal Sedan, Convertible Victoria, and the rarest and most desirable style, this striking dual-cowl Sport Phaeton. Packard redesigned several features at the time; exterior changes included the fenders, which extended to the front bumper, and on the interior, a new dashboard could accommodate the optional factory radio.

This Dual Cowl Phaeton has chrome wire wheels, dual side-mount spares, rolled-end bumpers, a long hood, and the Packard radiator shell topped with the 'goddess of speed' mascot. Its known history dates to the early 1960s, when it was in the care of Bill Wolfsberger of Southern California. He kept the car until his passing. Don Sears acquired the Phaeton from the collector's estate in 2006. At the time it was in solid original condition, still in running order, with wood and metal body components remaining in good condition. Mr. Sears began a full frame-off, no-expense-spared restoration at his shop. The exterior was finished in a beige color scheme with a sage green leather interior.

In late 2013, the car was sold to its current caretaker, who presented it for the first time at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Since then, the Packard has been shown at many West Coast concours events capturing multiple First in Class wins and Best of Show trophies.

The engine is a 384.8 cubic-inch L-head inline 8-cylinder engine fitted with a Stromberg Downdraft carburetor and offering 145 horsepower. There is a 3-speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel Vacuum-Assisted Mechanical drum brakes.
