Re: Packard 120B Serial Number information needed

The discrepancy on the body style number of the 1936 "120" convertible coupe can be traced back to at least the first edition on Turnquists book of 1965 and is repeated in Dr. Robert Marvin's "Packard Identification Guide", first edition, of 1988. No doubt it has also been accepted and copied into other sources as well.

Getting back to PI's suggestion that the VN should have an 891 prefix, I find no factory body style with that number, and the last digit being a "1" would suggest a phaeton, not a convertible coupe.
