Robert Neal wrote an article about the inline 12 a few years back. Mr Neal sent me a copy of the article before it was published.

Without looking up the article the 12 was found to have a vibrational problem. After Packard was done testing the car one of the members of the Packard family obtain or purchased the car. The fellow drove it until he was killed in some type of crash which I believed involved an airplane crash. The car was then given back to Packard and destroyed.
The engine was put into a Packard Convertible Victoria Body designed by Dietrich.
