1934 Packard Eight - Auction - Mill Hall, PA - For many, the 1934 model Packards, which the factory dubbed the Eleventh Series, represent the height of the company’s pre-war efforts. They were the final models with traditional open fenders, albeit gently skirted, and the upright radiator shell for which the company had become well-known. In addition, the chassis’ adjustable Ride Control suspension and Bijur automatic lubrication produced a car that was a dream to drive. Books have been written solely about this model year Packard, and it is widely considered among the most beautiful and purely enjoyable of all Classic Era production automobiles.
This Convertible Sedan represents one of the most desirable of Packard’s eight-cylinder line in the company’s most beautiful year. This Packard received a frame-off restoration from the acclaimed and award-winning Stone Barn Automobile Restorations approximately 10 years ago. The car is finished in a jewel-like fashion. Stone Barn has many show-winning cars in their portfolio; among them are Pebble Beach Concours victors.
Richly presented in dark blue with tan cloth soft-top and perfect blue leather interior; the concours-quality finish is also found on the undercarriage and in the like-new engine bay which houses the 319.2-cid, 120-hp straight eight-cylinder engine. All chrome elements and the stunning wood trim is also excellent. The dashboard is also like-new and the carpets fit perfectly. Among the many features are an AM radio, dual windshield wipers, dual side-mounted tires with full metal covers and pedestal mirrors, “goddess of speed” radiator ornament, rear trunk rack, painted wire wheels, chrome wheel trim rings and wide whitewall tires. Full Classic status from the Classic Car Club of America is bestowed on this beauty. Only 5,120 Packards in total were built in the 1934 model year, this is surely an example worthy of serious consideration. 1934 Packard Eight Convertible Sedan
