A 1388 is indeed a 1940 "110", bottom of the line for Packard in 1940. But it's a very roadworthy car, good highway manners, and there's always a good demand for coupes. It would be the 989th 110 coupe built, total # of 110 coupes built is unknown. As to value, I doubt many would care to estimate without some pictures at the least, though there are value guides. I'll leave that to others - it's a topic I work hard at avoiding.

I'd be interested in knowing if the car has a "thief-proof" or firewall number? There should be two large embossed triangles on the engine side of the cowl, 1940 is unique in that in about 1/2 the cars there was a number stamped. If your has a #, I'd pleased if you supply it, and if it has just the triangles or end brackets with no number, that would be useful as well.

Many thanks.
