I don't think the boattail craze started as early as 1917. But here's a 1917 Packard V12 boattail. I'm a little sceptical, but if it's an original car it's a steal.https://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/6190884095.html[/quote]

When did the Packard Twin Sixes go to detachable cylinder heads? Is this a 1st or 2nd series car? JWL

Note: I think this is a 2nd series Twin Six (2-25 Runabout), if so the detachable cylinder head engine would be correct.
