If that's what this is from, it would only be the portion holding the rebound bumper onto the frame. The actual rebound bumper would be many times that size. Here's the Steele Rubber reproduction https://www.steelerubber.com/front-spring-bumper-30-0087-32

Being a formal sedan, it is on a shorter wheelbase than your 1608. Thus, the differences you pointed out. The Formal sedans had padded leather tops.

Howard is correct. 1940 models were the first commercially available cars with air-conditioning.

Nice car. I hope you'll be able to buff and polish the paint back to a good shine.

This is "Packard Inc. Philadelphia." This wasn't a dealer. It was Packard's distributor in Philadelphia. Dealers buy from distributors.

My 1940 came standard with an extra ground; from transmission to frame.

I wouldn't put radial tires on a prewar car.

I've heard that a lot of pre-production Packards left the country, and even a few early custom cars that were going to be built in series, but I had never heard a reason for it. I was unaware that there were liability concerns in the 1930s.

I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that the 1935 grille shell is pretty much vertical... no slant whatsoever.

I suspect, based the "not quite right" LeBaron-style fenders, and the wheels, which appear to have lock rings, that this could be the lost Macauley Speedster... or, what happened to it, anyway. The "production" LeBaron cars from 1934 utilized drop-center rims.
Thoughts??
