Packard was founded in 1899, by James Ward Packard in warren, Ohio. They introduced numerous innovations, including the modern steering wheel and in 1915, the first production 12-cylinder engine, known as the 'Twin Six.' Packard quickly developed a following among the wealthy in the US and aboard, and was one-third of the three 'Ps' of American Auto Royalty, along with Peerless and Pierce-Arrow. By 1928, Packard had become the most popular luxury vehicle in America, and their slogan, 'Ask the man who owns one' was known worldwide.
Ironically, this car was designed and built with the idea that it would be driven by a woman. Its shorter hood and smaller engine combined to make it easier to maneuver and operate than comparable automobiles. The rear windshield was dealer-installed to keep the wind at bay. The car is fitted with the touring package, which includes dual tail lights, a radiator stone guard, and fitted luggage in the trunk. It was also the introductory year for the steel disc wheels. The engine is a 288.6 cubic-inch six-cylinder with 81 horsepower. It sits on a 126-inch wheelbase, weighs 3,950 pounds and originally sold for $2,425.
