West Peterson Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Are there specific years for which this trunk is correct? I do not know the measurements yet, but it came off of a 1937 12-cylinder and I'm pretty sure it is correct for that car. I'm wondering if it was exactly the same as those offered from 1932-1940?

Owen_Dyneto Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can't provide an entirely definitive answer as Packard offered several different trunks in each (most?) model year(s), and some years both fabric and metal-covered may have been offered. But as a generalization, 1934 and back (except possibily for the club sedan), trunks were fabric covered with plated corners, straps, etc. much like a steamer trunk. I believe the painted metal trunks are more appropriate to 35 and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander160 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'd have to scan some archives but I believe 34 had metal trunks offered, and the elephant grain fabricoid as well. It's appropriate for just about anything 33 and newer that uses that rack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Measurements should be 18 inches by 36 inches for a Senior Packard trunk. It looks correct in pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enuff, but it would be conceivable that a customer with a 34 would say "Hey I want one of those..." when seen on the accy displays. Yeah? No? Maybe...

Yeah? No? Maybe... Of course. And the same customer could decide he wanted to update his headlights, wheels, bumpers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
