1934 Packard Four Door Convertible Blk NS 0511246873

This car would have qualified as "conspicuous consumption" when new! Beautiful, custom bodies were available, and I'm guessing at the year of manufacture. A force to be reckoned with!

Awesome car! Did storage trunks used to come with these cars?

[@coolrides]

Hey, guys! My guess is that yes, it was offered by the factory. I base my guess on the fact that many have "Packard" logos on them. Thanks! :) Jack

Lovely old lady with just the right amount of wear . I see a wheel hub with the 'Super Eight' legend , so likely an Eight cylinder .

[@coolrides]

Hey, Derrick! Indeed...the dowager was out for a cruise. Thanks for spotting the "Super Eight". Nice to know its engine! :) Jack

"Stately" is the word for that one.

[@coolrides]

That seemed to be exactly what Packard was aiming for, akin to what Rolls Royce was achieving in Europe. Thanks! :) Jack

Gorgeous is an understatement. What a car!

[@coolrides]

No need to guess at the social station of the person who drove this! As they would say..."top 2%"! Thanks! :) Jack

I have always admired Packards, especially from the '30s and early '40s. Alas money keeps me from purchasing one, as well as my wife!

[@coolrides]

Hey, Steve! These Packards are truly admirable! Too bad your dream of ownership has been frustrated! Thanks! :) Jack

[@coolrides]

Indeed! In keeping with their restrained demeanor, Packard didn't have to employ the "hard sell". Reputation and exclusivity were the key factors! Thanks! :) Jack

[@AMCmachine]

Hope you had a great 4th! 🎆🎆🎆🎆

[@coolrides]

I did....went to a cool car show! I hope you had a great 4th too! Thanks! :) Jack

Simply motoring magnificence!

[@coolrides]

Hey, Daniel! So true! So signified by the name "Packard"! Thanks! :) Jack

[@michaelk487]

cool❤❤

[@coolrides]

Hey, Michael! It really is cool, in a very stately way! Low key advertising, too...."ask the man who owns one"! Thanks! :) Jack

That is beautiful. Is there a central division in that, that winds up? There is a lot of structure behind the front seats and some kind of structure in the roof above it. And it’s amazing that top folds down under the circumstances. I love the trunk. The British and Americans share the same language but particularly for cars use different words to describe the same thing. We call the engine cover the bonnet and Americans say hood, which is ambiguous to me because we call soft tops a hood. However it’s fair because bonnet and hood are both a type of hat! It is so obvious how the American luggage compartment got called a trunk when I see this Packard - I have no idea why the British refer to it by the name of a kind of footwear! 🤣

Hey, Mick! Yes, there's a handle to raise and lower a glass panel housed in the structure behind the front seats. The area in the roof is probably designed to add some dimension so that the space between the front and back of the cabin can be relatively sound proofed. I wouldn't want to be responsible for raising and lowering that top! The "B" pillars are removable so that you get a clear space when front and rear door glass is lowered. Thanks! :) Jack
