This stunning 1934 Packard
Eight 1101 Coupe Roadster from the Bruce Church Collection is a fascinating
automobile from Packard’s classic era. A Classic Car Club of America Full
Classic, it won an Antique Automobile Club of America Senior Award in 2010 and
was displayed at the 2011 Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance and the 2012 Concours
d'Elegance of Eastern United States. Known in Packard nomenclature as the
Eleventh Series, the 1934 Packard Eight retained many of the features that had
contributed to the success of the Tenth Series, but with revisions that
included extended front fenders over a slotted front bumper carrying Packard’s
Harmonic Stabilizers (also used at the rear), new running boards and door
handles, a feathered “Goddess of Speed” radiator mascot, a tail light-mounted
license bracket, higher seat backs and more luxurious upholstery. Mechanically,
the new car incorporated an oil cooler and oil filter, self-lubricating
suspension, ride control and the silky-smooth 320/120 HP inline-8 engine. This
comprehensively restored Packard’s arresting tangerine and metallic silver
paint and superb brightwork emphasize the bold elegance found throughout in
features such as wide whitewall tires on chromed wire wheels, chromed grille
guard, twin horns and fender lamps, Pilot-Ray self-steering safety lights, dual
side-mount spares with painted metal covers, accessory mirrors and a manual
folding top. The interior features pristine white leather upholstery, also seen
in the rumble-seat compartment, beautifully refinished burled-wood accents and
a jewel-like instrument panel. Bruce Church owned this car twice, having bought
it back from the Wilkesboro, North Carolina, doctor to whom he had sold it
years earlier. He then commenced the restoration, changing it from its original
red to its present exquisite color scheme. Upon its completion, he displayed it
at the Boca Raton Concours, where an enthusiastic Jay Leno was seen admiring
this wonderful classic-era Packard’s overwhelming beauty.
