1937 Packard Model 1507-1039 Coupe-Roadster

This 1937 Packard Twelve Model 1507-1039 Coupe-Roadster is an absolutely gorgeous V-12 Packard with impressive CCCA touring history. 1937 was an important year for Packard, the American luxury automaker who rose to prominence building some of the finest automobiles on US roads for decades. Like all American automobile manufacturers in the early 30s, Packard suffered significantly from the poor economic conditions and effects of the Great Depression. However, unlike virtually all of its luxury car manufacturer contemporaries, such as Marmon, Stutz, Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, Peerless, and Pierce-Arrow, all of whom went bankrupt, Packard was able to survive and by 1937 Packard was thriving. Packard's ability to persevere through the Great Depression was due in large part to Packard's entry into the intermediate-priced car market.
