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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Inspection
The 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster represents one of the most recognizable chapters in American automotive history, capturing the charm of open-top motoring during Ford's transition into the 1930s. Nearly a century later, the Model A remains a favorite among vintage Ford enthusiasts, particularly when thoughtfully upgraded for more enjoyable driving. This 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster, showing approximately 16,708 miles, is finished in Dark Blue over a Brown interior with a Tan LeBaron-Bonney convertible soft top. Beneath its classic appearance lies a built Diamond Block Model B four-cylinder engine with insert bearings, a Snyder high-compression cylinder head, and a 1984 Ford F-150 four-speed synchromesh manual transmission with overdrive. Additional mechanical enhancements include an upgraded steering system, modern shock absorbers, improved braking components, and a stainless steel exhaust system. Complemented by gold powder-coated wire-spoke wheels, a rear luggage rack with a metal storage trunk, and distinctive period-style chrome trim, this Deluxe Roadster offers an appealing combination of prewar Ford character and carefully selected mechanical improvements.
