This 1939 Packard Twelve Club Sedan is one of fewer than 500 Packards equipped with a 473.3ci V12 for the final model year it was offered, and it was delivered new to Joy Brothers of St. Paul, Minnesota. It was refurbished and awarded a Classic Car Club of America First Prize in 1981. The car is finished in blue over gray cloth upholstery and features a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, a fold-down luggage rack, rear-hinged rear doors, dual side-mounted spare wheels, a painted woodgrain dashboard, an AM radio, a heater, and rear footrests.
The 473.3ci V12 was factory rated at 175 horsepower at 3,200 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
The body is finished in Arctic Blue Iridescent and features chrome bumpers, a fold-down luggage rack, dual taillights, running boards, rear-hinged rear doors, a cormorant hood ornament, and a central front bumper guard. A Classic Car Club of America First Prize plaque is affixed to the right bodyside.
The body-color steel wheels wear chrome trim rings and hubcaps as well as wide whitewall tires. Matching spare wheels housed in body-color hard covers with mirrors are located on both front fenders. The Series 1707 Twelve rode on a 134.375″ wheelbase and featured a coil-sprung independent front suspension with semi-elliptical leaf springs out back. Stopping power is provided by vacuum-assisted drums at all four corners.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in gray tufted cloth along with a color-coordinated headliner, door panels, and carpets. Features include a painted woodgrain dashboard, dual locking gloveboxes, an AM radio, a heater, burl walnut door trim, and rear passenger footrests.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and fronts a dash panel housing a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles, total mileage is unknown.
