Gateway Classic Cars of Houston

"Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1934 Packard Series 1100. During the height of the Great Depression, Packard continued to separate itself from other luxury manufacturers by building automobiles that combined timeless styling with engineering innovations that were years ahead of the competition. This stunning black Series 1100 with a gray cloth interior represents the craftsmanship and prestige that helped Packard earn its famous slogan, ""Ask The Man Who Owns One.""
Powering this Packard is a rebuilt 320 CID inline 8-cylinder engine that was professionally rebuilt in 2020 along with the car's 4-speed manual transmission. The smooth power delivery and refined road manners remind you why Packard was considered one of the finest luxury automobiles in the world during the 1930s. The large displacement straight-eight engines Packard became known for were celebrated for their quiet operation and impressive torque, making long-distance touring effortless during an era when many roads were still rough and undeveloped.
This particular example showcases several features that made Packard a true engineering leader of its time. Equipped with Ride Control, the driver could adjust the shock absorber stiffness from inside the cabin to better suit road conditions, an incredibly advanced feature for the early 1930s. The car also features Packard's Brake Control system, designed to improve braking balance and driving confidence at a time when automotive technology was still rapidly evolving.
One of the most fascinating engineering features on this Packard is its Bijur centralized chassis lubrication system. This innovative self-lubricating system automatically distributed oil to critical chassis and suspension components, reducing wear and improving longevity. It was an expensive and sophisticated feature that highlighted Packard's commitment to engineering excellence, and 1934 marked the final year this system was offered by the company. Features like this are a reminder that Packard was building automobiles far ahead of their time.
This Packard's quality and authenticity are further supported by its status as an AACA Senior National Winner, an award reserved for vehicles restored and presented to some of the highest standards in the collector car hobby. The car underwent a complete restoration during the 1990s, preserving its originality and elegance while maintaining the details expected of a concours-level automobile.
The exterior's commanding black finish highlights the long flowing fenders, iconic Packard grille, and elegant pre-war styling cues that made these automobiles symbols of prestige and wealth. Inside, the gray cloth interior offers a refined and inviting cabin that reflects the luxury standards Packard buyers expected nearly a century ago.
By 1934, Packard had firmly established itself as America's premier luxury automaker, competing directly with Cadillac, Lincoln, and even Europe's finest marques. Yet Packard distinguished itself through engineering innovation, mechanical refinement, and attention to detail. Vehicles like this Series 1100 helped cement Packard's legacy as one of the greatest American luxury car manufacturers ever produced.
Whether you are looking for an award-winning pre-war classic, an important addition to a distinguished collection, or simply a piece of rolling automotive history, this 1934 Packard Series 1100 delivers elegance, innovation, and prestige in one remarkable package.
