My nice working hypothesis is gone. It's all Mal's fault!

Stefanie, welcome at PackardInfo.com!
 Quote: The painting style look a little more rustic then the style of illustrations that Packard used in their normal magazine advertising... Quote: ...Car looks like late 20's or 30/31. Ernie in Arizona. Might have been for an add in the Saturday Evening Post or some such high end magazine of the time... Yes, Kevin (Bigkev) and Ernie in Arizone (Ernie Vitucci) are right and Joe (58survivor) probably nailed it. Unusual but at least the Packard of the late 1920s is recognizable. The Packard Motor Car Company's marketing department looked for similes to illustrate the unsurpassed smoothness of Packard engines as part of a "Smooth & Silence" campaign. -> Velvety tiger paws or a barely perceptible indigenous man observing the scene from behind cover seemed to be credible analogies. The 1927 Saturday Evening Post newspaper ad shown below leads me to believe that a promotional art is based on the painting (, or that the painting is based on a promotional art).

To enrich the discussion, below is an excerpt from the manual for a Chaika. The car was built from 1959 to 1981.

The Lark lover's heart will beat faster when he receives the car keys - there can be no doubt about that. It may even be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
It takes a keen eye for vehicle design to give the car such a large rear window. The current model is a nice further development of the ->basic idea, five years ago. Would you have preferred to use a Wagonaire as a base model?

...So the automotive Packards we know were certainly fans of organs... Yes Mike (Tobs), humanpotatohybrid is right, PMCC maintained a very strong connection to the music industry. Starting with experimental jukeboxes on chain-driven trucks before the 1st world war,  Detroit offered an organ kit for retrofitting Super Eights.  It was nobody less than the LIFE magazine that called the Phantom grille "mouth organ".  image sources #1 - uniqueguitar.blogspot.com #2 - JD in KC #3 - LIFE magazine

As to the hard rubber I've tried almost everything (talcum, glycerin, diesel, soft soap, hot water, ...). Hot water works but only short. The same goes for a rubber mallet. It works but the effect is too brief to be useful. Soap is necessary. Summer and sunshine help and one or another friend.
I know that's not much consolation, but the stubborn battle between man and rubber shapes the character.  -> Video on how to properly install car windows.
