In 1907 Packard introduced their Model 30, which would remain in production until around 1912. Very few Model 30s are known to exist, and this is believed to be the only remaining example with seven-passenger coachwork. Its second owner was Phil Hill who, while still racing sports cars all over the world, indulged his passion for car restoration. He and Bob Mosier restored this car between 1969 and 1972. Phil showed it for the first time at Pebble Beach in 1976, and it won its class - and it won its class again at Pebble Beach in 1999. It is still owned and enjoyed by the Hill family.
Phil Hill was a legendary race car driver, but lesser known was his passion for collecting and restoring vehicles. He had enthusiasm, knowledge, and love for the early American car which led to Best in Class and Best of Show wins at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
In 1966, Mr. Hill purchased this 1912 Packard Model 30 Seven-Passenger Touring at auction, from the Rod Blood collection. It was an original and complete vehicle making it the perfect candidate for restoration. Working from his garage in Santa Monica, Phil completed the car with Ken Vaughn and Bob Moser as his apprentice.
Initially completed as a rolling chassis, the Model 30 was displayed at a Packard Club event. Afterward, the car was finished and the Seven-Passenger Touring was then shown at numerous concours events, including the 1973 and 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it won Best in Class. In 2013, the Phil Hill family was invited to return to Pebble Beach with the Model 30. After participating in the Tour d'Elegance, the 1912 Packard went on to win its class for the third time.
The engine is a 431.9 cubic-inch T-head four-cylinder unit that offers 30 horsepower and is mated to a three-speed manual transaxle. There are 2-wheel mechanical brakes with an I-Beam straight axle in the front and a live tubular axle.
