1938 Packard 1607 Twelve Club Sedan

The short wheelbase, V12-engined Packard Twelve Club Sedan was intended for the motoring enthusiast and is exceptionally rare. Only 27 were built by Packard in 1938 and fewer than a handful still exists. The Club Sedan is distinguished by the V-shaped split windscreen with central chromed moulding.

This 1938 Packard Twelve Club Sedan was exported new to France to the family of writer Maurice Maeterlinck, the 1911 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Although Maeterlinck died in 1949, the Packard remained with his family for another four decades. The car recently returned to the United States and is in excellent condition, having been driven only 65,000 miles. The interior is complete, the dashboard instruments work, the original woodwork is intact, and the original blue paint shows a lovely patina.
