Joe, do you have Jim Hollingsworth's book on the 1940 Packards? If not, maybe David Flack has a source for it. I got mine from Jim and while not autographed, I have a letter from him when he sent the book. I would be pleased to look up things in the book you have questions about and share information with you.
BDC, I too have a trunk for my 37 Six Convertible Coupe, and like you never mount it as I think the car is unattractive with the trunk.
My trunk rack was a retro fit sometime in its past, probably when it was restored in the 1990s. The bumper guards were moved outboard to clear the rack. This change is noticeable to a Packard expert. I believe the rack adds a nice look to the back of the car.
(o{}o)
A few minutes later: Here are a photos showing the bumper guards and overall view of the 115C. Having problems loading the photo showing the trunk installed, probably too large.
A few more minutes later: Photo shows 115C with trunk.
