Lot #1386.1 - Continuing to epitomize America's fine-car market during the early 1930s, Packard applied a number of careful improvements to 1933's Tenth Series and even more for 1934's Eleventh-Series models, which debuted in August 1933. Their outstanding styling was based upon Raymond Dietrich's foundational work and masterful streamlined touches by the multiple award-winning designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. Featuring beautifully skirted fenders and V-shaped radiator grilles, the Tenth- and Eleventh-Series Packards are rightly considered by today's collectors and marque enthusiasts as some of the company's finest models ever produced. Renowned for their driving dynamics and mechanical sophistication, Packard's Eleventh Series 8-cylinder models benefited from a number of detail-oriented changes and they remain outstanding tour cars today. Finished in an attractive two-tone livery accented with red pinstriping, this Standard 8 coupe is powered by an 8-cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Comprehensively restored, it is equipped with Trippe lights. Offered from the collection of noted enthusiast Gordon Apker, this CCCA Full Classic™ is eligible for a multitude of events, shows and tours.
