RJR,
for including your '38? or is it '39 Six Convertible Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry
But it poses a conundrum. Your VN Plate is stamped "1289-2064" which identifies the car as a '39 Six Convertible Coupe and not 1938. While from the TPN of 407608, from your 1st post in this thread, O_D has identified it as late '37 or the earliest known '38 known. However your most recent post gives a TPN of 470680. Could you check whether it is 407608 or 470608? If it is the latter number that could cast a different light on this discussion. Indeed O_D may be able to confirm it as a 1939 body. Don't forget that although sold in 1938 it was very late in the year and likely after 1939 models were on sale.
If you have the engine number you can check here. Engine numbers for 1939 Sixes are in the range B1501 -> B27541. While Engine numbers for 1938 Sixes are in the range A1501 -> A31660. This could be another indicator as to whether yours is '38 or '39.
