Under Monaghan's ownership, the Torpedo-Cabriolet received a no-expense-spared restoration by Lon Krueger of Scottsdale, Arizona. It then entered the collection of Tom Barrett, co-founder of BarrettJackson, in 1989, before ultimately being sold to Don Williams, who proudly showcased the car ever since.The 1933 Packard 1001 Standard Eight Coupe Roadster, a Tenth-series model, served as Packard's entrylevel luxury car. Despite aiming for the middle market, it retained full luxury status with a powerful 120-horsepower Straight-8 engine. Economic challenges limited Tenth-series production to fewer than 5,000 units, with just 1,800 being the 1001 Eights. The coupe roadster variant was a rare choice, making it exceptionally uncommon. This sleek model, on a 127.5-inch wheelbase, features a hidden rumble seat, optional rear-mounted spare, wide-whitewall tires and Trippe driving lights. Awarded the Classic Car Club of America National First Award and 100-point Senior Award, it stands out with a firstyear downdraft carburetor and full synchro transmission.SCAN TO WATCH THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO PLAYLIST
