1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Stationary Coupe

In 1934, the 1108 was the longest of three chassis offered for the 11th Series Packard Twelve, and it was used for the most luxurious models. Like all 11th Series Packards, the Model 1108 featured a smooth-running V12 engine producing a very capable 160 horsepower.

In 1934 Packard redesigned the fenders which are characterized by being extended to the front bumper. Inside it features a redesigned dashboard that accommodates the optional factory radio. This series is often called the last of the classic Packards, as it was the final year for the slimmer windshield posts and chrome front headlights. Several coach-builders would supply bodies for the 1100 series automobiles.

This beautiful Dietrich design, called a Two-Passenger Stationary Coupe to distinguish it from the more practical Coupe Roadster, is one of only five known to survive. It was purchased new by Andrew Eken, 'the man who built the Empire State Building' as a gift for his wife. After several years of ownership, it was then sold and hidden away for nearly fifty years.

Although built on a long 147-inch wheelbase, it could only accommodate two adults and their luggage. This rare Packard was first shown at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, when it placed First in Class, won the Classic Car Club of America Award of Excellence, and was named the Most Elegant Closed Car.

Purchased from an estate sale in 2002, it was soon commissioned to one of the finest Packard restoration facilities. With full owner history and records dating back to November 3, 1933, it is one of only five examples known to exist.
