Only 1,300 PackardTwelves were built for the 1937 model year and the bulk of thoseproduced were sedans. The 1507 series Packard's were built on thelong 139 " wheelbase chassis and were powered by the 473.3 cid/175 horsepower, twelve cylinder engine.

The doors fit the body with even gapsand margins and the hood aligns properly with the front grillassembly and cowl.
