Packard introduced the Model 30 (also known as the Model U) in August of 1906 for the 1907 model year and it served as a replacement for the Model S. These were the last Packard cars to use the right-hand drive and an engine of only four cylinders, with production continuing through 1912 with a total of 9,540 examples produced. The Twin Six replaced the Model 30 as the top-of-the-line Packard.

It was offered with both open and closed bodies, with the closed cars being equipped with a speaking tube, a dome light with a separate battery, and an adjustable ventilator. Standard equipment included a tool kit, speedometer, air-pressure gauge, two extra demountable rims, and an oil lamp. Powering the Model Thirty was a water-cooled, four-cylinder, T-head engine with a 431.9 cubic-inch displacement. It had a bore of 5 inches and a stroke of 5.5 inches. A plate clutch was blocked with the engine and power was transmitted by a long shaft with universal joints to the three-speed sliding-gear manual gearbox with reverse. This housing located at the rear axle also contained the differential. The Model 30 had a ladder-type frame with a semi-elliptical leaf spring suspension. Brakes were mechanical on the rear wheels only that were operated by a pedal - external contracting - or lever - internal expanding.
