It is a twin six. In 32 when packard reintroduced the v12 the car was called the Twin Six. However going forward the name was changed to Twelve.

The did the same with the big 8. In 32 it was called a Deluxe 8. Next few years it was called a Super 8. If I call by 8 and Deluxe 8, a lot of people don't know what I'm referring to so most of the time I just call it a Super 8. Of course in 37, they did away the bigger 8 and renamed the car with the smaller 8, a Super 8.
