Hope nobody minds me asking on this thread but so far this is where I've found the most help full info.
I have recently acquired my first Packard I was told and believe it is a 1940 110 business coupe mostly intact with no rust, except it had been taken apart for restoration some 35 years ago and a few years ago the building it was in was damaged by a tornado then sometime after the gentleman who owned it passed away. I purchased car from the family but they didn't know where the title was and some of the small things that had been removed during restoration had been lost presumably in the tornado. Like the body tag, this car also does not have engine as he was going to update the power train and there is no theft proof number in firewall. I am hoping there would be another number stamped somewhere to be helpful to take to BMV. the only thing I have found as others have posted is inside the front seat back in what looks like yellow crayon passenger side is a circle with the number 32 inside it and on drivers side looks like C 4490. any help would be very appreciated
