The 1936 Packard 1407 Twelve Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton was built on 144 in wheelbase in-house and was the last of this style ever built by Packard. Only 5 were built with 3 surviving today. It is powered by a 473 cid V12 producing 175 HP. One of Danbury Mint's swan songs, it's refined and highly contented right down to the hydraulicly actuated rear cowl that reveals two carpeted foot rests. I would call this model arguably the finest model DM ever produced.
