Re: Identification of Packard

Hi all,

The reason why I thought it was a Packard, is because the story goes in Norway that it was. But I agree that the model does not resemble any of the photos I have seen of the Packard. The hoot on the engine is much lower and there is a luggage rack at the rear. Your suggestion of the Pierce-Arrow looks more correct especially the headlights.

I also found that my photo showed a front seat much higher than the one in the Packard automobiles.

So it is likely to be a Pierce Arrow Model 38?

Regarding the date it must be a pre-1919 model, as the car arrived i Norway in August 1919.

Thanks for your respons. We'll be going to bed soon, so I might not see your replies before tomorrow.

Cheers
Rob
