Packard also offered the vacuum assist power top in 1940. Actually, it was standard equipment.

Too bad this car was "monkeyed with." As a REAL 160, it was certainly deserving to stand on its own merits even without the DE trim. The quality (based on photos) of what we see done wrong could have just as easily been done correctly. Why go through the trouble of painting the radio knobs, unless they are just make-do backyard remakes without the fine-tune feature.
