1937 Roadster Packard @ National Packard Museum, Warren Ohio
Model 1507 twelve, 2/4 Passenger, Rumble Seat, Roadster.
The passenger cabin is trimmed in red leather upholstery and dark blue carpeting. Rich wood-grain trim includes the window frames and the handsome dash, which contains a lovely insert housing the instruments, along with a clock and a rare radio unit. The rumble seat, which accommodates two additional passengers, features red leather upholstery along with fold-over leather armrests.
Underneath the expansive hood, the tidy engine bay remains period correct and highly detailed, as does the original V-12 engine, which is also period correct in its presentation.
Even during the height of the Depression, the Packard Twelve sold for approximately $5,000 to $6,000, the cost of at least 10 new popular-priced cars. While 1937 was a good year for Packard, just 1,300 Twelves were produced, all but ensuring their place among the rarest and most desired masterpieces of the Classic Era.
