In 1933, the Packard V-12 powered models received a name change, from 'Twin Six' to 'Twelve.' They also received improved cooling, clutch, and suspension modifications.
This particular example has a known history that dates back to 1951, when it was purchased by E.C. 'Charlie' Last of Pasadena, California. In the 1950s, Mr. Last opened 'E.C. Last Automotive' in Alhambra, California. Mr. Last restored this car with a number of unique updates that are documented in an article from the May 1958 issue of Motor Trend. The changes included the addition of hydraulic brakes, a drawer that spanned across the car using the golf bag door opening, and an additional second fuel tank installed in the rear of the car. The fuel tank was designed to accept either methane or gasoline with just the twisting of a few valves. The car was given auxiliary gauges for the fuel system and an upgraded generator that powered a loudspeaker system. 16-inch wheels were installed to lower the center of gravity and improve handling.
Mr. Last sold the car on January 29th of 1973 for the sum of $2,500. It was purchased by Walt Shearer of California. In Shearer's possession, the Packard received extensive work, including an interior and top. The Twelve was sold to Terry Johnson of Englewood, Colorado, in 1998, who had the car painted in its current paintwork in 2012. At that time, the engine was rebuilt.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2015
