Packard's Senior Series design changes for 1935 were more contemporary with flowing lines and smoother contours than the 1934 models. Many more major changes occurred in the engineering aspect of the car than the eye could see.

In 1936, the models were virtually unchanged, except for the five degree slope of the front radiator grill shell. The Senior Series Twelve's had the finest of leathers, clothes, and wood trim that money could buy. Little expense was spared in Packard's Senior production cars.
