Packard’s 11th Series arrived in August 1933 with styling many consider the final expression of Classic Era design before streamlining dominated automotive aesthetics. The Model 1107 rode a 142-inch wheelbase positioned between the shorter 1106 and longer 1108 variants.
Deeply skirted fenders extending nearly to the front bumper gave the car a lower, more integrated appearance, while slender windshield posts and chrome-plated headlights (features dropped the following year) contributed to its refined profile. The V-shaped radiator shell found echoes in the matching headlamp lenses.
Under the hood sat Packard’s 445.5-cubic-inch L-head V-12, delivering 160 horsepower at 3,200 rpm through a three-speed manual transmission. The engine’s 67-degree cylinder bank angle provided exceptional smoothness, often described as turbine-like in operation.
Semi-elliptical leaf springs and vacuum-assisted drum brakes completed the mechanical specification.
Total 1934 Twelve production reached just 960 units across all three wheelbases and more than a dozen body styles. The Club Sedan represented one of the rarer catalog bodies, with only a small number built.
A factory-installed radio was newly available during the Eleventh Series, accommodated by a redesigned dashboard.
