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.

Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.
