In the teens Packard used 2 Inline 6's in a V to creat the 12 cylinder..they were called the twin 6.....later I think they modified the engine to a V12..

Packard had the exclusive 12 cylinder line then the Straight 8' aka the 120s, and in the late 30's they iintroduced the 110 line of 6's as a poor mans Packard...

Up until WW2 Packard built Chassis for Custom Bodies..

Packards have always been a desirable car..."Ask the Man Who Owns One".. was the companies slogan....that was in response to a request for information from a poential customer back in the early 1900's ...

Today alot of the Custom Bodied stuff is in museums or Big $$$$ collections....but there still is a fair number of desirable cars floating about...if I'm not wrong prices havn't really moved up on this stuff, simply because the generation that coveated them so greatly is is now in the bone orchard or nursing home....The hot number after the Packard gen is the Hot Rods...but that gen is now passing by too....Today the HOT number is the 60's Muscle Cars that the Boomers love....
