I do a lot of graphics work and am familiar with a lot of fonts. This one is definitely a script type. The "O" and "S" are obviously exaggerated (i.e. extended vertically) and the lettering is stretched. My initial though was that it might be Magneto, but when I put that to the test, it is clearly not. I'd suggest you go online and look up popular fonts from the 1930s and 1940s. I think that it is an actual script font as opposed to one created by Packard. I really like the font and design -- it is a classical Art Decco style.
