Car of the White House
This is a 12-cylinder Packard coachbuilt by Dietrich. We can see photographs of President Roosevelt in the company of the King of England, George VI, riding in a similar car.
Packard was founded in 1899 by James Ward Packard with his brother William Doud and some partners. The company, which was born in Warren, Ohio, USA, pioneered technologies such as the modern steering wheel and the first-ever 12-cylinder production engine.
