    Hello all,



    This is my first post... I was hoping that someone here would be able to help. The photo below was taken on April 19,1943 at the Douglas Aircraft plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. President Roosevelt visited and toured the factory, being driven down the line of aircraft in his convertible. My question- what year and model Packard is this?



    Thanks so much!

    Speaking not as an expert, I would guess somewhere between 1936-39. I'm sure an expert will jump in here soon to pinpoint it, but I'm fairly sure it's in this range.

    Looks like a 37 120 series to me. I'm sure about the 120 part, read the hubcap on the sidemount in the second pic! Not positive about the year, but I know I'm close.

    Thanks, guys. Now that I look, I see the "one twenty" on the hubcaps. I guess we're just down to a question of year...

    Yeah, pretty sure it's a 37 tho.
