Here is a recent The Old Motor article that will really make one hope the way-back time machine get perfected soon.
The images are of Prospect Motors, Ford used car lot on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, NYC, April 25,1941:http://theoldmotor.com/?p=176016
For that seven year old 1934 Packard Eight coupe roadster to be displayed on the front line, it must have been in usually good condition. Flanking it to the left is a 1939 Mercury, to the right are Fords, 1939 Standard, a 1939 Deluxe convertible coupe and a 1938 Standard. For 1938-1940 Ford offered the Standard models which utilized the previous model year's front sheet metal for a lower price.
The 1936 120 sedan is one of the few cars with white wall tires, must also have been a well-kept five year old car. Ford dealers might have viewed displaying Packards prominently on the front line was a good customer draw.
