It appears to be a 6 cylinder 5 passenger 126" wheelbase from 1922 (First Series) to 1927 (Fourth Series) which all had that fender shape.

Narrowing it down, the tail light is not correct for First Series and from Third Series on it incorporated the word "Stop" so that points to Second Series.
The wheels appear to be 33" x 4.5" which is correct for Second Series and discs were optional for that model.
The headlights would confirm the model, if they have the Packard radiator shape on the rims then that feature was confined to First and Second Seies, round drum types were used for the Third and Fourth Series. The photo is not clear enough to distinguish this feature
The rear mounted spare is normal for all of these models.
The car does not appear to be long enoung to be a 7 passenger or any of the larger eight cylinder models.

My guess is its a 1924 Second Series 226 5 passenger 6 cylinder Touring or Phaeton.
