This is not the new for 1935 "junior" Packard One Twenty a.k.a. 120, which had 256 ci straight eight with 110-120 bhp (hence the name) and competed in the upper middle class. The many "12s" in the designation correlate to the 12th series that applied only to 1935 senior models (Eight, Super Eight, Twelve), and the V-12 engine. So, 1207 means 12th series, with 07 standing for V-12 engine and 139 in. wheelbase. The seniors were traditionally built, while Packard started mass production with the One-Twenty eights, later adding One-Ten sixes.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 08:41, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
