Packard was an American luxury automobile brand produced by the Packard Motor Car Company in Detroit, Michigan, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation in South Bend, Indiana.
In 1954, the company merged with Studebaker, creating the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. The last original Packard car rolled off the factory line in 1956, but due to declining sales, production was discontinued two years later.
However, throughout its history, the company made a significant mark on automotive development, especially in the USA.
While the Great Depression had a huge negative impact on American premium car manufacturers in the early 1930s, Packard’s reputation helped it maintain a strong market share. The ninth series models, introduced in June 1931, are still considered among the best Packards of the classic era.
The basis of this series was cars with an inline eight-cylinder engine of classic design producing 110 hp. The pinnacle of the ninth series offerings were models 905 and 906 with V12 engines. These cars stood out for their high standards and were among the best American cars available at the time. Notably, even American presidents used these cars.
The car from our collection has undergone a complete restoration and is in excellent condition.
