This Twin Six Seven-Passenger Touring exhibits a high degree of originality commensurate with the barely 8,000 miles shown on the odometer, believed to be correct. It has benefited from selective sympathetic upgrades, including an immaculate detailing of the engine compartment, a new black leather interior some time ago and a repaint within the last few years. The latter was completed with the body and fenders in black, and hood and cowl in a dark shade of blue. A blue accent panel on the rear doors is highlighted with a fine light gray pin stripe, which is echoed on the concave coupe pillar where body meets cowl. The wheels are finished in a shade of straw, accented with subtle blue designs. The top is of much older vintage and shows its age. A look underneath reinforces the impression that the car has never been apart.
The car starts easily and runs well, and is a delight to drive. Just 8,750 Twin Six Packards were built over the four-year run of the 3-35 model, not quite 2,200 a year. Survivors are scarce, making this car a very desirable benchmark for correct detail. Just ask the man who owns one…
