Dave (O_D), yes, I had the same impression, but didn't dare question the contemporary caption. Here another 1521 with the "5-person label", even called a "Packard 160":
"Inscribed on photo back; Packard 160, super eight, nineteenth series, model 1908, 8-cylinder, 165-horsepower, 148-inch wheelbase, 5-person touring sedan (body type #1521), by LeBaron, 20th series catalogue rendering."

Packard's own product literature identifies the style 1521 as a sedan for 5-7 passengers. Thus I'd conclude the caption on the photo is incomplete...
