Of course it's a personal decision, and I appreciate your tenacity in wanting to have it correct.

Here are two trunk handle examples on ebay for 1940... the long handle being for ??? and the "T" handle being for cars with a trunk rack. Possibly both are for cars with a trunk rack, and long one is an early version while the T is for later versions (I have a T on my car, and it is the highest serial number known for its body style)http://www.ebay.com/itm/1940-PACKARD-180-TRUNK-HANDLE-RECHROMED-RARE-/181966572941?hash=item2a5e0d8d8d:g:hm8AAOSwdndUleWo&vxp=mtrhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/1940-PACKARD-160-COUPE-TRUNK-T-HANDLE-MINT-/181966573471?hash=item2a5e0d8f9f:g:-ZkAAOSwnDxUlzMy&vxp=mtr
