It was used for Packard&#8217;s most luxurious cars alongside the shorter model 1107 and 1106.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Like all of the 11th series Packard&#8217;s, the Model 1108 featured the smooth-running V12 engine which produced a capable 160 bhp.<\/p>\n<p>For the 1934 range Packard redesigned the fenders which are characterized by extending to the front bumper. Inside Packard also had a redesigned dashboard that could accommodate the optional factory radio.<\/p>\n<p>Some consider the 11th series the last of the classic Packards since it was the last year to have slender windshield posts and chrome front headlights.<\/p>\n<p>Among the very desirable and custom bodies availble for the 1108 was the LeBaron Sport Phaeton which made great use of pontoon fenders and a sweeping rear profile for the first time in the range. Other top bodies included the Dietrich Sport Sedan and Dietrich Convertible Victoria.<\/p>\n<h4>Sources &amp; Further Reading.<\/h4>\n<p>1.
