Facing a challenging market in 1937, Packard introduced a competitively priced model, the Packard Six. It shared most specifications with the larger 120, yet was priced less than $200 above a comparably equipped Ford. Sales of the more affordable model helped the company endure hard economic times. In 1940, Packard moved the entry-level price point up slightly with the launch of the six-cylinder 110 line. It was an immediate success, selling 63,000 units in the first year. The 110 was available as a two-door or four-door sedan, a convertible, and a station wagon. By the eve of WWII, station wagons had become a symbol of gracious living on country estates and beachside villas alike, and the Packards were the most exclusive available.

In 1941, coachbuilder Hercules supplied 358 bodies to Packard for 110 and 120 chassis, 300 of which were bound for the 110. This 110 Station Wagon is believed by the consignor to be a California car from new. It possesses a charming patina and was exhibited at Movieworld Cars of Stars museum in Buena Park, California, for many years. Following its use in the 1976 film Gable and Lombard, the Packard was purchased by a previous owner from whom the consignor acquired the car in July 1985. Having been recently serviced following long-term static storage, this seldom-seen Packard 110 Station Wagon with wooden coachwork by Hercules would be an ideal example for a concours restoration or enjoyment as is.
