Packard 120 Link to "www.google.co.uk" |

The style of the bonnet/hood side trims says it is 1938 so is not a 120 but an Eight. Looks to be a long wheelbase 7 passenger model 1602 maybe? Headlights are British maybe? -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 09:40:45 |

Having another look, it is hard to tell whether this is a long wheelbase car or not. Comparing it with this one which I identified as a 1602 - /vehicle_194640-Packard-Eight-1602-1938.html - I am now not so sure as the one in the link has different hood side trim. I wonder if that is actually a 1939 car and maybe a Super Eight. Needs Pilou's wisdom. -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 09:56:22 |

No, with the windshield divider continuing up onto the roof, it's a '38. |

Commander, are you referring to the the one in the link? I thought all Packards retained a V windshield until at least 1940. I notice it has different hood trim to this car so they are different series models. Which is which? The car on this page is not a One Twenty - the name was not used in 1938. I think it is an Eight and not a Super Eight. -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 21:49:36 |

I was referring to the bright trim strip which continues onto the roof. In '39, it was only on the windshield divider itself. Factory illustration: http://www.thepackardlibrary.com/Poster%20images/1938/PA-38-1.jpg Note how the brightwork goes up onto the front part of the roof. -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 22:30:17 |

So what is the verdict? One source says that the 120 name was not used in 1938-39 and they were simply called Eights. Is that not correct? The car in the link has different hood trim so maybe that is a Super Eight? Or maybe the picture has just distorted it and it really is an Eight/120? Is the car on this page a 1602? -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 23:05:26 |

I'll leave it to a pre-war Packard expert to handle the model issue. My comments just addressed the year. |
