1914 Packard Model 1-38 Tourer

The model 1-38, introduced in 1912, was the first Packard to have a 6-cylinder L-head engine, left-hand drive, and an electric starter - as well as all the driving controls set on the steering column in front of the driver. Jesse Vincent was the designer of this Packard, which features an early-style collapsible windshield. The car is powered by a 415 cubic-inch 60 horsepower engine. A total of 14 different body styles were offered, including this Five passenger Phaeton. Packard owners could also choose from over 40 different paint styles in a range of attractive single and two-tone color schemes, and this olive green and black is typical of the era. Restored over twenty years ago, this car is one of just nine surviving examples known to exist of the original 940 built in 1914.
