901615roadUnited States

Engine: 7.3L (445.5 cu. in.) L-head V-12, modified, 160 bhp
Colour: Metallic sage green

A 1933 Packard Tenth Series Twelve Coupe Roadster on a 142-inch wheelbase, believed to be the final example of body number 61 — the 51st and last twelve-cylinder Coupe Roadster body completed for the 1933 model year. Uniquely transitional, it combines a 1933-specification body and interior with earliest-known Eleventh Series mechanical components including engine, transmission, and steering. After decades of private ownership, the car received a thorough cosmetic restoration and is well regarded within Classic Car Club of America circles.

Restoration
Comprehensive cosmetic restoration carried out during the Midwest collector's ownership: the car was fully disassembled and refinished in a metallic sage green, while the drivetrain received a complete tune-up addressing any outstanding mechanical deficiencies.
Work also included attention to accessories and interior; the woodgrain trim and upholstery are noted as being in excellent condition following the restoration.
