Marking the grand finale of Packard's V12 era, 1939 Packard Twelve
Touring Sedan carries automotive royalty in its DNA. Massive in
scale and unrelenting in presence, this black-clad titan features
suicide doors that open to reveal its luxurious cabin. Four
perfectly maintained outside mirrors flank the body, while giant
headlights and fog lamps create an unmistakable face. The
symmetrical fender-mounted spare tires with distinctive Packard
mirrors above add old-world character. A folding luggage rack
extends functionality, while 16" steel wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich
235/85/R16 tires support the substantial frame. The black finish
gets extra character from a tasteful vinyl roof insert - a true
rolling masterpiece from a bygone American luxury tradition.
Going beyond just transportation, the tan Mohair interior offers a
level of craftsmanship rarely seen in modern vehicles. The front
bench and matching door panels invite you in, surrounded by genuine
inlaid wood trim framing the windows and door tops. Look to the
rear and discover an expansive passenger compartment complete with
fold-down jump seats and dedicated foot rests for rear occupants.
The dash houses factory gauges and an AM radio, all presented with
period-correct authenticity. The generous carpeting throughout adds
warmth to an interior designed when size mattered and comfort was
paramount. Every inch reflects the exceptional standards Packard
built their reputation upon.
Move this substantial machine with the legendary 473 cubic inch V12
- so exceptionally balanced you'll barely detect it running.
Connected to a 3-speed manual transmission, the combination works
with remarkable efficiency despite its advanced age. The
engineering team at Packard equipped this luxury sedan with power
drum brakes for solid stopping ability. Front suspension uses an
independent setup with coil springs and shocks, while traditional
leaf springs manage the rear. The factory-correct single exhaust
system keeps noise to a minimum. The 6-volt positive ground
electrical system includes a thoughtful battery shut-off switch
installed under the driver's seat for added safety and
convenience.
