Packard built a prototype front drive car in 1930, using the V12 engine that saw production starting in 1932.

The Twin Six that was introduced in 1932 was a very different engine than the prototype of 1930 which was a much smaller displacement and significantly lower horsepower. The chapter in the Kimes-edited book has a pretty good summary of the history of it's evolution.
