To early to be true?

In April 2011 John (423reed) published the above shown picture in the photo archive, accompanied by the description: "1941 PACKARD ASSEMBLY LINE-B&W"

Since that time three related comments have been posted:

"With that grill, is it a 41 line or possibly a postwar 21st series line." (HH56)

"This is not the 1941 assembly line. Note the grille and parking lamps." (packards1)

"The Packard in the fore ground of the photo is a 21st Series 6-cylinder while the ones in back are 8-cylinder models. This assembly line photo would have to have been taken in 1946 or 1947." (JW)

I think that the caption is correct, the pic could have been taken in 1941. Both the grille in front and the wrapped around grille were offered in 1941.

Edit: BigKev, it looks like a nice mistake that the names of commentators are hidden in the photo archive. To make them visible one has to move the mouse over the seemingly empty field.
