Eleven.
On an English test, the students were asked to describe the character Johnny's first car in the novel they had read.
Jimmy wrote, "Johnny had an Oldsmobile."
Timmy wrote, "Johnny had had an Oldsmobile."
Timmy, where Jimmy had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had the instructor's approval.
11 hads in a row, all grammatically correct.
