Quote:Gerd,
Pic of the black and burgundy Packard is of "Pre-Series" 1919 Twin-Six. Believe the 3rd Series was introduced in 1927. Concerning using that pic to identify the one shown as a 1915, I believe there are too many different features to make it a good match. Below are a couple of pic's from the 1916 Packard Photo Archive, and although these too exhibit different features, they are much closer in detail to the '15 of the Czar. I note too that the Czar's car has a "contract body by Fisher" but the cowl shape is much closer to that of the '16's rather than the '19. The front fender shape of the '16's appears identical to that of the '15 and the hood height looks to be the same. So based on the '16 pictorial "evidence", it does look like it could well be a '15.
One further thought Gerd, did you post a pic of this car previously in another thread? There was some discussion a fair while ago about Packards fitted with tracks for use in snow conditions, not the more recent one of vehicles with cylindrical screws, if I remember correctly. The memory ain't what it used to be!
