The picture set that had the wood gas system Packard had also two others. They were still in original condition but probably received the systems later on.
The first text part goes:
"Slope end bodied 7 passenger '36/'37 Packard that might even had registration plates A-1. Could this have been reserved for some upper class warrior because it doesn't wood gas system installed? This picture with Helios code 576/8 has note written with pencil stating "A-1 Autola OY Guerillot". The name Guerillot says a lot to Packard enthusiasts. He was a French engineer that had emigrated to Finland at young age and worked for Autola OY for his whole career. He was so loyal and self sacrificing that he assembled a list of all imported Packards and their first buyers on his free time."
And the second:
"In the picture there is a brand new looking 1939 Packard with A-3 plates. And of course it is a 7 passenger model with an inline 8 as the others in this article. The Helios number is 577/10. But unlike the others Packards in this article this has optional equipment, such as a car radio and it's antenna can bee seen in front of the front left door."
The mentioned Helios is a photo shop that still exists in some form.
