The first generation Packard V12 was introduced in May 1915. In Indianapolis Indiana in May 1915 another V12 engine was introduced for mass production. The car company was National which introduced the Highway 12.

As I have stated in the past Packard may not have been the first to do so.

In 1932 when Packard introduced the second generation V12
Packard only referred to it as the Twin Six for one year. In 1933 they changed the designation to Packard Twelve.
