Packard built its early success as the standard American luxury car with the four-cylinder Thirty of 1907-1912 and the mighty Six of 1912-1915. But the model that really cemented Packard\'s reputation as a make of the highest rank was the 1916-1923 Packard Twin Six, which one-upped Cadillac\'s 1915 V-8 with four more cylinders and lasted with relatively few changes for eight years: a remarkably long run.
Perfect for framing!

Thanks for three series between 1916 and 1923, Packard built slightly more than 35,000 Twins, including numerous chassis for custom bodies. The Twin Six was the chief reason why, when the wealthy ordered a custom-bodied car, they tended to choose a Packard chassis.

Jesse Vincent, Packard\'s chief engineer, liked the 12-cylinder layout for three reasons: performance, smoothness, and silence. \"A six-cylinder motor is theoretically in absolutely perfect balance,\" he wrote. \"This is because the vibratory forces due to the rise and fall of one piston are neutralized by equal and opposite forces due to another...Now it is only possible to cancel out forces in this way if they are tied together strongly.\"

This meant a heavy crankcase and crankshaft and a rigid flywheel. But a Twelve or \"Twin Six,\" Vincent continued, would provide the same rigidity and smoothness with less piston, crankcase, flywheel, and crankshaft weight -- and provide more horsepower and torque, to boot. He preferred a V-12 to a V-8 because a V-8 would require a wider frame, larger turning radius, and more complicated steering gear.

The Twin Six engine duly embodied the above principles, with two banks of L-head cylinders set at a 60-degree angle (versus 90 degrees in Cadillac\'s V-8). This allowed accessories to be bolted just below the frame, where they were protected from road hazards, while keeping the valves accessible.

Delivering 85 horsepower at 3,000 rpm, a bore and stroke at 3.00 × 5.00 inches resulted in a displacement of 424 cubic inches. Rockers were eliminated, with a separate cam for each valve, and all valves were located inboard of the cylinder blocks. A short, light crankshaft ran in three main bearings.

Vincent proclaimed that torque was \"50 percent better than it would have been with a V-8, and 100 percent better than the Packard Six. Six impulses per crankshaft revolution blend together so closely as to make it absolutely impossible to distinguish any pause between impulses, even at very low engine speeds...The only thing I can liken it to is the action of Generation (1912–1915)
1914 Packard 3-48 Touring SedanThe Packard Six was the first top level luxury platform built by the company to introduce a six-cylinder engine, and was offered in three wheelbase options of 121.5 in (3,086.1 mm), 133 in (3,378.2 mm), and 139 in (3,530.6 mm).[1] This was the last Packard to use the term \"model\" in its designation.[1] Officially, the car was first introduced as the Packard Six Series 1-48. The car was described with varying marketing terms such as the Packard Six, the Packard Dominant Six, the Packard \'Six-48\', \'1248\', and the Packard \'48\'. The \'48\' designation was assigned to 525 cu in (8,603 cc) T-head engines, while the Series 1-38 or \'38\' designation was used for 415 cu in (6,801 cc) L-head engines that used a different valve configuration.[1] The transmission offered three forward gears and was installed at the rear axle.[1] The Six was replaced in 1916 with the Packard Twin Six and was the only platform manufactured in two wheelbases.[1] Retail price of an Imperial Landaulet 7-passenger sedan was US$6,550 ($177,198 in 2021 dollars

original early family and/or town genealogy, history, antique, collectible heirloom and/or ephemeraEphemera is a word used by appraisers often to cover those objects that don’t fit into general categories such as fine and decorative art or glass and porcelain and can be grouped together as everything left over or oddities needing valuation to finalize an estate or collection value.
In the matter of paper ephemera we are referring primarly to magazines, comic books and even dime store novels and other similar publications that were meant to be read and then disposed of later. Much of this material when first published did not register among the balance of the collecting public and endless stories exist of people who bought every issue of Superman or Mad Magazine in their youth only to discover that their parents had thrown them away years later. Today collecting of paper ephemera has become a major field driven by the Baby Boomer generation as well as those born in the 60s and 70s. Collectors use grading companies to slab (place in plastic) and grade their copies of comic books and magazines considered rare such as Golden Age issues of Batman and Superman or the earliest issues of Mad Magazine and even TV Guide. The higher the grade the more valuable the issue. The subject of grading will be addressed in the next post. “ephemera” are vintage printed or written items which originally served some specific purpose and were not expected to be retained or preserved, but which are now cherished. A few decades ago much of it was called “Paper Americana”, though ephemera is not necessarily American. Or even paper: these days the field has been expanded to include such things as tobacco tins, photographs, radio premiums, textile swatches, vinyl record albums, items made of celluloid or wood. Also included are various items which were indeed likely to have been saved, such as wedding invitations, marriage certificates, passports, birth certificates, wills, deeds, divorce papers, stock certificates, promissory notes, and many other vintage documents.
