Kevin,
Love the decoder!
I'd like to offer correction to the source data for 39 Six; not urgent.

I noticed the Carb information field is populated with "Carter WA-1."

WHen new from the Packard factory, the six carried a Chandler Groves. Carter and Stromberg had aftermarket offerings (WA-1 577 or 530 and BXOV-26 respectively) that were specifically for Packard. As I understand the history, Packard was having issues with CG and also changed its supplier quickly for 1940 and made the Carter and Stromberg offerings standard replacement parts for the 39.
