nzcarnerd Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Did a bit of research and it might be the 'lower price' model from 1933? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Small packard in 33 was a 1001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Those headlights were used on '33, '34 Packards. I believe that all models used them. 1933 was also the first year for the skirted fender. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Here is my guess - The factory picture, below, is a 1933 Packard 1004 Super Eight 7-passenger sedan (body type #654). Please note that the size of the rear door and the size and shape of the quarter window is a good match to the unknown Packard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) The front door 1/4 lite is not as long as the 1933 1004 version? Perhaps more like the 1934 Super 8? Edited July 11, 2018 by Spinneyhill (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the forward lower corner of the vent window is different. Yes, we in NZ call it a quarter light - an English term - the Yanks call it a vent window.

Grandpa Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Spinneyhill, I think you nailed it. The unknown car is a 1934 Packard 1102 eight, 7-passenger sedan. Factory picture below. Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 That is a good photo although the lighting is not good enough to highlight the pin striping very well. I notice the car is on a turntable so they could take a photo from many angles without moving the camera. @Grandpa where do you find all these factory photo's?
