Packard introduced its Tenth Series on August 21, 1933. The new models, while appearing similar to their predecessors, incorporated a host of new mechanical innovations resulting from the rapid technological race taking place within the automobile industry. Advancements included an oil temperature regulator which enabled the use of the same oil viscosity number year-round as well as monitoring the temperature of the oil to suit all driving conditions. The 455 cubic-inch V-12 engine delivers 160 horsepower.
This Packard 1005 Twelve, formerly called the Twin Six, wears Convertible Victoria coachwork by Dietrich. Ray Dietrich was Packard's most influential stylist in the early Classic Era and his custom creations rapidly became production offerings. Packard initiated major changes in styling and chassis design for 1933, including a V-style radiator, skirted fenders, and thermostatic shutters. About 244 12-cylinder Packards in 10 different body styles were produced that year.
Margaret Emerson Vanderbilt purchased this Packard 12 Victoria from Zell Motor Car Company in Baltimore, Maryland. She gifted it to her son, Albert G. Vanderbilt II, on his 21st birthday along with the family thoroughbred farm. This car became known as The Black Packard with Red Wheels off Sagamore Farms. Mr. Vanderbilt kept the car for eight years. In 1941, James Edward Blake, of Baltimore, acquired it and maintained stewardship for 71 years. The next owner, after many failed attempts, but had communicated with Mr. Blake regarding the car's provenance, purchased it after Mr. Blake's death in 2012 and sold it to the current owner that same year. Margaret Vanderbilt was an heiress of the Bromo Seltzer fortune. Her husband Alfred was the third son of Cornelius Vanderbilt and died a heroic death by giving his life vest to a woman during the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. Her life was spared. Sagamore Farms' most significant breeding resulted in Native Dancer. He won 21 of 22 races between 1952 and 1954.
