1938 was the first year all steel Packard body, the factory wanted to show it was modern and had got away from the woodgraining. After that year the buying public told the powers at be they wanted the woodgraining back and it returned the next year. When I owned a 1938 1601 30 years ago I had to know why it looked plainer than the 37's and I did research then. Yes without a computer lol.
