Packard Type 6 326. V6

The Packard Six was a series of luxury automobiles built over several generations by Packard from 1913 until 1947. The name was originally used to describe the car in general terms, while Series numbers were initially used and changed every year to denote wheelbases, then the number classification changed as market conditions changed so as to keep competitive with other luxury brands.

There are three generations that used a six-cylinder engine before World War II, with varying engine displacements and periodic mechanical changes.

The line consisted of:

1912: 1-48 (3 wheelbase options)
