First V12?

[pdisme]

For some trivia, does anyone have an idea on what the first production car with a V12 engine was? I actually don't know the answer and I've found a few web pages with contradicting information.

Looks like no existing manufacturer want's that claim... but from the few pages that I found on the history of the V12, it looks like it was Packard with the 1916 "Double Six."
