Re: 1940 120 Town Car by Rollson

I've been able to have a look (and drive a bit) this old lady this week-end. The serial number stamped on the car starts with 1801 followed by 4 digits (2017). I had a look to the "model info" pages, and I'm a bit puzzled, as I thought the first digits should have been the body number. Could it be that this car was numbered 1801-xxxx because it was built as a chassis to be bodied by Rollson, meaning shipped without any body at all?

The plate also tells the date and the destination, P.M.C.CO NEW YORK. Would P.M.C.CO stand for Packard Motor Car Company?
