Hello All,

I am a new owner just purchased my first Packard. A 1940. At least I’m told it’s a 1940…. Anyway I’m not sure if it’s a 120 or a 160. The identification tag is missing from the firewall. There are numbers on the engine on drivers side just below the head in center of the block. Also on lower driver side and passenger side. One number appears on both sides on lower portion of block close to firewall, it looks like a date.
