Re: 1941 Packard 160 woody?

Packard didn't offer a station wagon on the 160 chassis; there is a green 160 woodie from the Connecticut area that's been around for years and photographed and written about in various publications. I don't recall the details but it's not a factory-original car, though bodied in the factory style. I believe the one you're refering to is a custom-bodied shooting brake bodied in England or the Continent on a 160 chassis and yes, it or one very much like it may still exist somewhere. I don't recall just where I've seen the photographs, perhaps an old issue of "The Packard Cormorant".

EDIT: Correction, the green 160 station wagon that I recalled is a 1940 and was written up in the Spring 1975 issue of TPC.
