Re: Can You Identify this Packard

Hi

Fred is right, it's a 1929 Model 633 7 passenger sedan, style 334 or possibly limousine, style 335. Enlarging the photos, the body moulding and visor, the no fender-mounted parking lights and hood-side louvers combined make it a 633 model. The long rear quarter window identifies the 7 passenger body that accomodates the folding jump seats.

Given that it was owned by a funeral home, it was probably a livery car used in concert with the hearse for funeral services, as well as the family car. The hearse also may have been a Packard. A good share of these 7 passenger sedans were likely used by the original purchaser in just such a livery role.
