    My grandfather was somewhat wealthy - he had one of these, though I don't know the year. Chauffeur driven as well. He got his sons the lower-level Packards, though my father promptly left for WWII.
  • Superb 1938 V-12 Packard. these are quite rare in any condition and with the 1937 are some of Packard's finest cars in style and performance. The Dash is particularly beautiful on this example and the engine appears show room - A real prize winner -

    Excellent segment. Packard will always be the king of US auto manufacturers. And this vehicle is a work of art.
  • @chuckkottke
    I'll head on over to my Packard dealership and give one a test drive today! 😉

  • UTTERLY AND ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Repeat STUNNING💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
  • Notice the cloisenne Hub cap centers in green. Most high end Packards the cloisenne was in red but the purchaser could order the colisenne in the color they wanted. There was a Packard at Pebble Beach many years ago that also had green rather than red. The Indiana Packard Club found a company that would reproduce the Cloisenne centers. The club president was at the Cincinnati Concours and had those
  • Lovely car. Just so glad to not see cupholders and a massive flat screen on the instrument panel!
  • That engine is 472 cubic inches, not 434. Packard 12s started out at 445 cid for 1932, 33, & 34. In 1935, they increased the displacement to 472 cid until the last one was built in 1939.

    I think Duesenberg and Packard had very different customer bases and the differences weren't based on money.
  • 16th Series didn’t have wood-grained dashes. My 1937 Twelve has a wood-grained (faux) dash and Packard brought that back in 1939. Admittedly, I think this car looks better with it. And the green cloisonné.

    Interesting comment about the engine power & displacement. Not that it matters, but another illustration as to why the Internet is pretty much worthless for accurate technical info (yes...I own a '38 Packard Twelve...drive it regularly...!)
  • Carro de verdade quase humano nada dessas merdas com modulos e sensores carros robo joia impagável
