JW: My last post to you was to let you know how Dammonn & Wren came came up with the information they printed in their book. Not knowing that you own the car thus my remark to you that you may be mistaken. I certainly wish that your car was sitting in my garage
I guess that we certainly can say the information in the D&W book is not correct. You now know why the information was wrong about your car because of some research that I did.
The following information that I am about to post should be nothing new to you . Cord in 1935 had Rollston build a new series of updated bodies for the JN series. The bodies were designed by Creteur. A total of ten bodies were built including three Berline sedans.
The body on your Packard is basically the same design as the 1935 Duesenburg J-559 purchased by Bill Bojangles Robinson which was mentioned in another post, and restyled by Bohman & Schwartz in 1936. You refer to your car as a formal sedan, and it could also be called a Berline Sedan. This is how Rollston and Deusenberg
refered to the body style as a Berline sedan when mounted on a Dueusy JN chassis.
I wish that I could find a better picture on the net of
Robinson's J559 Duesnberg. However I refer you to page 147
of the book Duesenberg by Dennis Adler.
