The Packard 120 debuted in 1935 and was an instant success for the company. The 120 was a solid, well engineered and well appointed automobile that carried the Packard name proudly, and it had many of the elegant styling cues of the prestigious Super Eights and Twelves, but on a more diminutive scale.
It trounced Cadillac’s smaller, sportier LaSalle in sales, and even gave Buick a run for its money. Of course a major reason the 120 was such a hit was because of the Packard Motor Company’s superlative reputation.
