The car that saved Packard. Launched for 1935, the One-Twenty was the company's first mid-priced model, with a straight eight, independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes, all built to Packard standards at a fraction of the price of the big cars. It is named for its 120-inch wheelbase, and it sold in numbers Packard had never seen.
