Just wondering if Packard every considered offering a front-wheel drive?

Yes. The prototype 1931 sedan still exists. It's a Twin Six.

I had the pleasure of viewing the car when it was displayed at Pebble Beach a decade or so ago. Packard disguised the car so that there was nothing to identify it as a Packard. There were problems with the front wheel drive system and Packard decided to abandon this approach and go with a more conventional rear wheel drive. The V-12 engine was introduced for the 1932 model year and carried the name of its predecessor twelve cylinder car - Twin Six. Here are two photos of the prototype.

Looks like a later-style exhaust manifold.

As far as I know the FWD Packard prototype is with the Bob Bahre collection in Paris Hill, Maine.

Until 2020 the collection was opened to the public once a year. I haven't heard what any future plans are for the collection since Mr. Bahre's passing.

It is indeed in the Bahre collection. No changes to the collection are planned. They just finished a complete renovation of the "car barn," and I'm sure it will be open to the public one day each year to raise money for the library.
