1935 Packard 120A Sedan (RHD)

Description

Packard cars were produced by the Packard Motor Company of Detroit Michigan from 1899 until 1958 and were always noted for their quality and luxury. Entering the 1930s, Packard initially attempted to beat the stockmarket crash by manufacturing ever more opulent and expensive cars than it had prior to October 1929. However, as the Great Depression bit hard, Packard also started producing more affordable cars in the medium-price range. In 1935, it introduced its first sub-$1,000 car, the Packard 120, with car production more than tripling that year and doubling again in 1936. In order to produce the 120, Packard built and equipped an entirely separate factory. Although not in the same quality league as the 'Senior' model Packards, the so-called 'Junior Packards headed by the 120 were more modern in their basic design, with the 1935 Packard 120 featuring independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes - advanced features that would not appear on the Senior Packards until 1937.
