1907 Packard Model Thirty Runabout

This Packard 30 was a special order for Louis W. Hill, President of the Great Northern Railway. Hill took delivery on February 13, 1907, paying $4,431 for the runabout with touring fenders and several custom options. He also had the clock engraved with his initials. Hill was an avid 'automobilist' who organized the 1913 Glidden Tour National Reliability Run and built a garage into his private railcar to travel with the Packard. The current owner acquired the Runabout in 1983 and performed a sympathetic restoration to retain the car's authenticity. Since then, the Packard has logged over 30,000 miles, participating in several transcontinental tours. As Hill liked to winter in Pebble Beach with the car, its invitation to attend the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was a homecoming of sorts for this noteworthy Model 30.
