In my opinion, this is a Packard of 1933 vintage. Definitely not 1940, and probably not der grosser Mercedes 770 ! |

A Mercedes was listed on this page and also on the sequel of the movie ("Addams family values"), maybe a Mercedes really appears in the second movie, and that it was wrongly listed here. I set this picture as a Mercedes because it was the only one that could be a 1940 Mercedes  |

Not a bad a guess, the Grosser Mercedes did look old fashioned by the end of the thirties. But this is a Packard, and the imposant bumper gives it away as V-12. Probably series 1005 with the 142 inch wheelbase. 1933 it is. |

A very explendid car. Its body really looks like the 30s Grosser Mercedes. The bigger headlights could indicate a British body maker, i guess. |

I just found an error here. This is not a 1933 1005 Twelve but either a 1932 905 or 906 Twin Six (designation Twelve is correct only for 1933-39; 1915-23 and 1932 V-12 are called Twin Six). Biggest difference between 9th and 10th series are the fender which are open on the 9th series, but became "skirted" on the sides in 1933 (and even more for 11th series in 1934). 9th series Twin Six, too, are distinguished from lesser models by their heavier bumper. Further, they have wide hub caps with Cloisonné application. I am quite sure about that, but I am only guessing about the model: 906 (Individual Custom series). There were several styles like this offered; some by Packard custom, some by Dietrich. |

I must have missed the fender back then, you´re absolutely right. It´s a 1932 Twin Six |
