Why rely on a belief when BigKev has the specs online here:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/modelinfo/index.php?mode=year&id=1940&ButtonYear=Go

Seems I've seen too many folks misusing the names body styles for the 1940 and 1941 model years. Can't tell you how many ads I've seen for the 2-door convertible coupes incorrectly labeled as a "victoria" body. BTW, neither the 1940 nor 1941 models had a rumble seat.

For those years Packard reserved the "victoria" designation for custom-bodied, 2-door convertibles, such as Darrin and Bohman & Schwartz, whether the car had the junior 120 engine or the senior 160/180 engine.
