If you have the Packard Club phone book, you should call Chuck Murphy in Dallas TX (may be listed as Carrollton in the book; suburb of Dallas) as he has a car like this in beautiful condition.

Is this the same model but the longer wheelbase model?

Correct. The style 1462 would be a 1941 "160" on chassis 1904 which is a 138" WB, but still a 5-pass sedan (no jump seats). The "160" series carried yet a longer wheelbase, chassis 1905 @ 148" WB with styles 1470 and 1471 for 5-7 passengers; the 1470 would have a divider window, both had jump seats.

Does anyone know who the owner of this Packard in the photos might be. I have some interior questions and would love to contact him via email or phone. Thanks for any help.
