The photo you posted was taken on 5th Avenue in NYC around East 74th or so. The photo was taken by whoever took photos for Rollston at the time. Rollston probably sent the photo to Packard & whoever received it at Packard labeled it by what they thought it was. Because of it low, sleek lines it does look sporty, but because of all the formal sedan traits it has, formal sedan is the correct term to use in describing this body. Walt Gosden of the CCCA, who is probably the foremost expert on US built custom bodies, even refers to the car as a formal sedan.
