Few automobiles embody timeless elegance like the 1935 Packard Twelve 1208 Limousine, offered here by Exotic Car Trader. Born during an era when luxury marques such as Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, and Packard defined American prestige, this limousine was crafted in spite of the Great Depression, a period that forced many rivals into collapse. While Packard itself would close its doors in the late 1950s, the 1930s remain a highlight of its history, producing masterworks like this 1208. Extensively restored and accompanied by complete records, this limousine blends grandeur, craftsmanship, and historical significance into one unparalleled offering.
Finished in a stately dark blue, the Packard Twelve 1208 exudes grandeur with its imposing proportions and period-defining details. A tall vertical grille, prominent hood ornament, dual side-mounted spare tires, running boards, wire wheels with wide whitewall tires, and an externally mounted luggage trunk with rack all emphasize its commanding presence. Dual side-hinged hoods and the limousine-style bodywork reinforce its era-specific opulence, capturing the spirit of 1930s luxury transportation. Inside, the cabin offers a chauffeur-passenger division, with the driver’s compartment trimmed in durable black leather for utility, while the rear passenger compartment showcases tan cloth upholstery, wood grain accents, and refined craftsmanship throughout. Features include a Dictaphone, radio, heater, cigar lighter, and folding jump seats integrated into the partition. A winder-controlled glass division allows discreet communication between passengers and chauffeur, while an intercom-style microphone and speaker system further elevate convenience. The balance between durability in the front and elegance in the rear reflects the chauffeur-driven design philosophy of the time.
Beneath the long hood lies Packard’s formidable 473ci V12 engine, a masterpiece of engineering designed to deliver smooth, effortless performance for both driver and passenger alike. Paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the Twelve provides ample torque to move its substantial body with grace and authority. Complementing the mechanical setup are oversized dual horns, ensuring this limousine’s presence is both seen and heard. The Twelve’s powerplant not only represented Packard’s engineering prowess but also solidified its reputation as one of America’s premier luxury automakers during the prewar era.

The Packard Motor Company of Detroit is yet another one of those great American automakers who fell by the wayside as automotive brands converged and conglomerated in the ’50s and ’60s. Before World War II, Packard was well-regarded for producing luxury automobiles, and after the War, they maintained their luxury car lineup. Things came to a halt in 1962 when they merged with Studebaker, and the Packard name died away. However, you can still find a classic Packard around if you look hard enough. Here’s a 1951 Packard 300 up for sale, with a complete restoration on it, and even a reprint of the original owner’s manual included with the sale. There are still a few more things to be done to make this car concourse-fresh, but these are easily addressed, minor foibles that you can put right in a jiffy – the hard work has already been done during the restoration.

The 1934 Ford Victoria belongs to Ford’s Model 40 line-up, introduced in 1933 as an update to the earlier 1932 models. Styled under Edsel Ford’s guidance rather than Henry himself, the Victoria was one of fourteen body styles available in the range, positioned as a more upscale option with a focus on comfort and style. Its flowing lines and enclosed cabin gave it a distinctively refined look compared to standard coupes and sedans. The example offered here shows 62,300 miles and features thoughtful upgrades, including drivability enhancements, making it a practical choice for vintage enthusiasts who still want to enjoy the open road.
Following the success of the Model T, the Model A brought a whole new dimension to the country’s history of cars. This particular 1931 Model A Victoria Coupe comes from the last year of its make, and although it retains the classic feel and aesthetic of its original state, comes with some significant upgrades. Gone is the inline-four engine and replaced with a modern V6 with electronic fuel injection, plus a host of upgrades. However, the entire car retains its iconic vintage charm with hardly any changes. All servicing documentation and invoices are reportedly provided. With 1,949 miles reported on the clock and an all-steel body, this Model A is a car that is begging to be claimed and enjoyed in your garage and shared with others as well.
