Hi Guscha

Lina had excellent taste in Packards! Her rig is a 1925-26 Series 236 Sport Phaeton for four passengers. Not only is it the large 357.8 ci straight eight on the shorter 136" wb but also the radiator, hood and body are lower, for a more sporting profile. An easy way to identify them is the rear door hinging, opposite from the standard Touring. The drum headlights really look great on cars of these years; very large and imposing. The windshield may be from a newer year Packard or an aftermarket unit, much lower height and chromed.
