A Little History

In 1907 Packard introduced their Model 30, which would remain in production until around 1912. Very few model 30s are known to exist and this is believed to be the only remaining example with seven-passenger coachwork.

Its second owner was Phil Hill who, while still racing sports cars all over the world, indulged his passion for car restoration. He and Bob Mosier restored this car between 1969 and 1972. Phil showed it for the first time at Pebble Beach in 1976, where it won its class – it won its class again at Pebble beach in 1999.
