Same here. I use Windows and Chrome.

Steve (58L8134), thanks for the additional clarity.
The Zurich professional fire department also had at least one Packard in its fleet.

I found this photo from 1955 in a Hungarian database. Regardless, I suspect it comes from the USA. Anyway, someone tried to somehow improve the looks of their convertible.

Chris (Packard Newbie), I missed your contribution so that my reaction comes more than five years late but better late than never: thanks for the good words.

Mike (su8overdrive), you're welcome!

TxGoat, thank you for the vehicle identification. Without having detailed knowledge of Cadillac, it seems to me that the 1940/41 vehicle has turn signals (indicators). Regardless, it apparently received the "standard vehicle body" with trafficators (wig-wags, semaphores).

Mike (su8overdrive), thanks for pointing out the coachbuilder. Despite five different base vehicles, the standardization efforts are visible. It seems to me that the same coachbuilder was used in each case. All or almost all vehicles appear to have been equipped with the same rims and hubcaps (and probably the same tires).
Another discovery: the probably oldest car is the only one with an undivided windshield.

Ross, here are two old photographs for your inspiration. They were contributed by -> Philip from Canada. The captions state that the photos show a factory pickup.

-> image #1

"Front view of Packard prototype pickup that was used at the factory. Was in Ogdensburg but not sure where it is now. Will see if I can find it."

-> image #2

"1949 Packard prototype pickup used at the factory. Was owned by Bill Hull of Ogdensburg."


The images below have been minimally edited (edges trimmed, color slightly retouched, sharpened, etc.) for better visibility.
