That IS an interesting vehicle, and from the data plate it would appear that it might well be a prototype. You're missing one digit from the theft-proof number, should be 6 digits.

Packard did make "slant back" touring sedans in the "senior" series for 1935 and 1936; unsure if they were offered later than that or if they were offered in the "junior" series cars, but someone else will know.

PS - page 452 of the Kimes book does show a junior (120) 1935 slant- back touring sedan.


As RogerDetroit commented earlier, it is a Six Sedan, a 1083 body style. This body style was available in the junior series cars from 1935 to 1937. I personally prefer this body style over the Touring Sedan which has the bustle for a larger trunk. The photo shows what I believe to be a Banjo Style steering wheel. It may be in restorable condition, and if so, worth more than all the rest of the car.
