In the back seat. If you examine pictures of the different models carefully you will see the difference.

Senior models Patrician and Cavalier had a longer roof and different rear window. Also different rear fenders.

The rear door was the same except the wheel opening was set back farther.

Packard buyers actually got more room for their money when they bought the expensive model. Other makers added extra length in the hood or trunk area. This was a lot cheaper to build but of course did not contribute to passenger comfort.
