I find it hard to believe any straight eight Packard sedan had a top speed of 110 unless you mean on an uncorrected speedometer.

In fact I do not believe any American stock car was capable of over 100, between 1937 (supercharged Cord) and 1951 (Chrysler New Yorker sedan, 180HP hemi V8, officially timed at 100.13 MPH on Daytona Beach during Speed Week).
