Re: How does a touring sedan differ from a sedan?

OK, I'm jumping into the deep end after following the link to the Packard club site...

For 1938, we show 1182 & 1184 touring sedans, 2-DOOR and 4-door in the Six.

THEN there's the touring sedan 1191 (148"WB) and 1192 (4-door on the 134" WB), and 1194 (2-door on the same WB) in the Eight series.

AND last, but not least, there's the Super Eight 1114 and 1113 4-door sedans and 1103....whew!

For 1955 there are Deluxe, Super, Custom 4-door sedans, no "touring sedan" listed...

Then the Patrician, also not listed as a "touring sedan", either.

I looked up those 2 years because they were cited in responses to my post.

IMHO, I think at this stage of the game, it really IS a fancy name for a plain ol' sedan...

And then for 1956, the name "touring sedan" comes back. A desperate Nance marketing trick??
