General Information:

Turn signals and dish-shaped hubcaps that did not say "Packard" were common to both Junior and Senior Packards for 1942. There Seniors straight-eight engine now generated 165 hp. Clipper styling came to the One-Sixty in a club sedan and touring sedan on the 127-inch wheelbase, the convertible coupe being the only traditionally-styled One-Sixty now on that chassis. The traditional One-Sixty look remained on the 138-inch and 148-inch cars, the latter chassis now including a new business sedan and limousine. There was a nod to the Clipper even in these models, however, with the change from vertical to horizontal in the grilles flanking the radiator (all non-Clippers featured this). Electric windshield wipers and an accelerator pedal starter were also new to the One-Sixty this year.
