1915 Packard Twin Six

[Guest]

This is a direct from a book I am reading right now.

In 1915 Packard lauched a Twin Six a large 12 cylinder engine car whose engine, in addition to its hight output, was very fleible and able to go from three to 38 mph in top gear in 12 seconds.

This is a list of other manufactures in the USA during that time that also produced 12 cylinder models.

Packard

National

Pathfinder

Austin USA

Hal

Haynes

Enger

Kissel

The following information about the Engler V12 I have posted before, but will do so again. The Enger V12 engie had a device wich permitted on bank of cylinders to be cut out when under certain conditions, in order to save fuel.
