Since the company's inception in 1899, the Packard Motor Car Company established its reputation as the maker of one of the world's finest motorcars. Originally founded in Warren, Ohio, the company moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1905. Also in 1905, the company moved away from one and two-cylinder mid-engine machines to four-cylinder offerings. In 1907, the company introduced its four-cylinder Model 30.
A new six-cylinder car was introduced in 1912. It was initially known as just that - the Six, later being called 'the 48' as its name.
Under the leadership of engineer Jesse Vincent, a twelve-cylinder engine was introduced. By late 1915, production began on the model dubbed the 'Twin Six.'
This particular Touring car is a Model 3-35 Twin Six. It has been driven just 8,000 miles that remains in highly original condition. It is finished in black and Packard blue over straw wheels. There is an aluminum dashboard that houses all the original instruments and equipment.
The engine is a 424 cubic-inch V12 fitted with a single carburetor and offers 88 horsepower. There is a three-speed transmission and rear-mechanical brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
