1922 Packard Single Six Runabout

This 1922 Packard Single Six 223 Runabout is powered by a 268 cubic-inch L-head six-cylinder engine fitted with a single Packard carburetor and delivers 55 horsepower at 2,700 RPM. There is a three-speed manual transmission, leaf spring solid axle suspension, and rear mechanical brakes. It was discovered in the late 1980s in Denmark in poor condition. An exhaustive nut-and-bolt restoration was completed in Germany. In 2006 it was acquired by its current owner who used it in a number of long-distance European rallies. It returned to the United States in 2011 and has since been shown at a number of local shows, winning multiple Packard International Motor Car Club of Southern California Region, Circle of Champion awards; the most recent of which was presented in 2018 where the car achieved 232 points.
