Although the Twin-Six was made through 1923, after a few years Packard realized that the 12-cylinder was just too expensive to keep building and designed the new Single-Six for introduction in 1921. That year Warren G. Harding became the first President to arrive at the inauguration in a car—a Packard Twin-Six.
