In April 1913 Packard released a one year production vehicle, the stunning 1914 Model 3-48. Only 1,499 Model 3-48s were made in the fiscal year of 1914, and even less were Type 1 Limousines. This model differed from the ordinary Packard in several ways. The 3-48 had a larger wheel base of 139 inches, was offered in 42 different exterior color combinations. It was equipped with the 525 cubic inch T-head engine, which produced an incredible 82 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful production engines at that time. There were many options available for the Model 3-48. This 7 passenger limousine came with a Klaxton Model L horn, a Warner Model M Auto Meter, a gentlemen’s smoking set for $2.90, and rear tire carrier which cost $20.00.
