Market commentary
Column shift was standard on Packard sixes and eights in 1939, but offered only as an expensive $240 option on the Twelves which were in their last year of production. This car was sold by RM in Ft. Lauderdale in 2009 for $176,000, then a year later by Gooding & Company at Amelia for $170,500. The result here in Greenwich is a lot of automobile for the money.
