  1937 Packard Twelve Victoria Convertible
• Notes:
  The Ultimate Ride: Ask the Man who owns one' was the slogan of this Detroit built luxury automobile manufacturer. Such was the persuasiveness of the Packard experience. The Packard Twelve Victoria was produced from 1933 to 1939. It is considered by many to be one of the finest automobiles produced by Packard and one of the most significant creations of the classic car era. The long and flowing front hood houses a 320 cubic-inch side-valve Straight Eight engine that remains refined, powerful, smooth, and quiet by modern standards delivering 130 horsepower. Independent coil spring front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes that ensures a quality ride. Labour intensive, quality defined the Packard Victoria. Entry level examples were the cost of a very reasonable house. In many ways the Packard Victoria represents the pinnacle of the American automobile sector. Celebrating a modern age full of promise and strength Packard Victoria is one of the great works of 20th century design. This remarkable example is finished to an extremely high standard. In full running order a detailed condition report is available on request.
