Sounds like something custom, no such body style was cataloged by Packard. Perhaps a custom vehicle sanctioned by Packard or perhaps something done later. A very significant clue would be the vehicle number on the patent plate tag on the cowl just forward of the driver's windshield. If it started with 2004, 2005 or 2055 it was sold by Packard as a chassis and delivered to a coachbuilder for completion. If it begins with a 15XX it was modified from a factory body. Have you looked in the usual places for the coachbuilder's tag? What's the wheelbase, 127" or 148"?

Pictures, please!
