They were the last examples of a legendary era where great, quiet, powerful multi-cylinder engines powered large chassis bearing lavish, luxurious coachwork specified by demanding clients accustomed to getting the very best.

The Touring Sedan body has rear quarter windows for excellent visibility, dual sidemounts with metal enclosures and rear view mirrors, a trunk rack, Trippe driving lights, wide whitewall tires on wheels with chrome hub caps and trim rings. The rear compartment has footrests and lap robe rail. The elegant automobile is finished in Dark Blue-Grey with a Red coachline. The interior has comfortable Beige cloth upholstery and trim with handsome wood trim. It is an very nice older restoration that has been well maintained and still looks fabulous. The 175 horsepower 473 cubic inch V-12 engine effortlessly propels this refined Packard Touring Sedan at highway speeds, making it perfect for the tours and open road events which add enjoyment to the pride of owning one of the last great multi-cylinder Classic cars.
