The Packard Model 30 was a luxury car introduced for the 1907 model year. It replaced the Model S. It featured a touring body with right hand drive and a crank starter mounted to a four-cylinder T-head engine. The pricey 30 was marketed just above the Model 18 (literally a 9/10 scale model of the Model 30). In 1911 Packard introduced the Packard Six as a 1912 model and phased out the four-cylinder Model 30s.[1] The Model 30 was replaced by the Packard Twin Six as the top level car in May 1915.[2]
