1 kilogram is 1000 grams; a pound is 453.6 grams, so a kilogram = about 2.204 lbs (US measure).

Your 34 Packard 1101 club sedan weighs about 4730 lbs dry weight. Add about 200 lbs gasoline, water, oil etc., so the "wet" car weight is about 2235 kg.

EDIT: I've never seen any Packard data on fore-to-aft weight distribution, but I'd take a guess at about 55:45.
