Rusty,

To continue my Packard education your post prompted me to look at the Packard Model Info pages, but I'm confused. OK, OK I know that's more or less my normal state but in this instance my confusion grew worse! According to that reference:
1920 - All Twin-Sixes
1921 - Single Six and Twin-Sixes
1922 - Only Single Sixes
1923 - Single Six and Twin-Sixes
1924 - Sixes and Eights

Looking for help to understand this all. From Rusty and John's posts it appears that new engines were unveiled in 1915(Twin-Six) and 1923(Eight) but Packards using those engines weren't released until the following model year. My greatest concern is that the Twin-Six appears to have been dropped for a year, 1922, only to re-appear again for one year only in 1923, is that correct?
