Mal, According to the kimes book (pages 780/81) the Twin Six 3-35. Model Years 1920 - 1923. Series - Third. Introduced August 1919 Current to June 1923. Motor Serial Numbers 21000 To Approximately 22300.
Body Numbers 160130 To Approximately 165662.

Possibly Packard were focusing on their 6 cylinder and more fuel efficient (if that mattered then) engine, the Twelve being 7 years old in 1922.

The new 6 cylinder engine was introduced September 1st 1920 to April 20th 1923.

Shame we don't have more information. Then again, we're not the only one with such difficulties: Read this week that Cerberus sacked the Chrysler Engineering Library Librarian and told anyone who wished to they could carry away whatever they wanted.

Shame if that's true.
