Re: Remains of a 1937 prototype?

The 1937 Packard Six (115C) was a one year only model. The 115C designation comes from the wheelbase like its big brother the 120. The "C" was used to match up to the third year for the 120; 1935 - 120, 1936 - 120B, and 1937 - 120C and 115C. The junior 1935-37 Coupes were either either Business Coupe or Sport Coupe (neither had a back seat). The Sport Coupe had a rumble seat for an extra two passengers, like the convertible coupe. Basically the same body styles were available in both the 120 and the Six/115C. In 1938 the 6-cylinder came to be called the Six with the 120 being called the Eight. Then in 1939 back to 110 and 120 designations. I agree, it is all somewhat confusing.

Correction: The One-Ten (110) designation was not used until the 1940 models. The Six designation continued from 1938 to 1939. The One-Twenty (120) designation was revived for 1939 and continued until 1941. The Model Info section reveals all.
