I realize that this is a very old posting and long defunct but just to answer the last question for future reference, the Henney tag did not replace Packard's own but instead supplemented it with specifics about the vehicle's features as can be seen on the plate that Dave posted. As someone suggested, it seems that this car was not actually a Henney but rather a passenger car with a Henney front clip added by someone who wanted sidemounts, not knowing that the Henney sidemounts were different than those on a passenger car. Most of the 1941 Henneys were 120s but they had the 160 trim and as an aside, they are officially known as Henney-Packard. The titles for mine all have Henpk or something like that for the make!

Incidentally, I found this post through Google while searching for a good photo of a 1941 Henney-Packard service car for posting on my site as the photo I have is tiny. Does anyone have one?
