1908 Packard Model Thirty Navigation
When the Packard Motor Car Company moved to Detroit in 1903, it quickly established itself as one of America's leading luxury auto manufacturers.
In designing the new Thirty, Packard refined many components of its previous Model S. Flat tops now replaced the domes found on cylinder tops and valve chambers (which were made larger). Instead of roller bearings, the front wheels now operated on ball bearings and the wheelbase grew three inches (mostly in the hood). The wheelbase grew another inch and a half for the 1908 Model 30 (or UA), while the tires grew another 2 inches. The radiator cap no longer used a screw cap, but instead a bayonet-type. This year, Packard introduced a Close-Couple Touring body style that featured a rumble seat. The Model continued through 1912 when it was replaced by the 1913 Packard Six.
This Model 30 has a 432 cubic inch 4-cylinder engine that produces 30 horsepower.
