The V-12 Packard was produced from 1933 to 1939 with over 35,000 in production. In 1936, Packard made 682 cars in the 14th series. This beautiful 5-passenger coupe, model 1407 originally sold for $3,990.00. In the 1936 model year, Packard employed 5,100 production workers of which half were assigned to the Senior Packards (Eight, Super Eight and Twelve). This was to insure the Packard hallmark of quality. The only visual differences between the Fourteenth and Twelfth series (there was no Thirteenth Series) is the 5-degree slant of the radiator shell and the chrome strips around the headlamps.
The Fourteenth Series was the last to include a phaeton, a dual cowl phaeton and a seven-passenger touring car. The Fourteenth Series was the final year for the 17-inch wire wheels and the double blade bumpers with hydraulic dampers.
This car has been meticulously restored over the past 4 years, only being completed in June 2018. Although a frame-on restoration, the undercarriage has been expertly cleaned and repaired. The car was delivered by Packard Motor Company on April 7, 1936 from its showroom in New York City. The paint, chrome, gauges and woodwork have been excellently restored and in perfect condition.
This Packard will travel flawlessly down the road at highway speed with ease. This car is ready to show at any CCCA or AACA event.
