1939 Packard 1707 Twelve Navigation
Packard celebrated its 40th anniversary in business in 1939, and by this point in history had become one of the most respected automotive manufacturers in the world. Their top-of-the-line V-12 models, now in their final season, received only a few visual changes, in addition to the newly optional column-shifted manual transmission. All Packard Twelves were built on a per-order basis, often to custom specifications.

This particular example is the fourth 2/4-passenger coupe produced on the Packard Twelve chassis in 1939. It was sold to its first owner by the Bush-Morgan Motor Company of Pasadena, California. Paul Clancy purchased the car in the mid-1960s and retained it for over four decades.

Currently, the car has just over 86,000 miles on its odometer.
