Engine: 12-cylinder engine (correct-type replacement unit)

A rare 1934 Packard 1107 twelve-cylinder car, one of approximately ten surviving examples of this body style, vehicle number 738-35. Originally retailed through the prominent Los Angeles dealership Earle C. Anthony, it was unusually equipped with twin side-mounted spares on solid wood artillery wheels. After passing through several documented owners, it entered The Timeless Collection in 1999 and has since been carefully preserved, retaining much of its original interior and body markings.
