I like the model comparisons with other popular makes as seen in the last image (the small book in the back). Packard obviously wasn't afraid to be compared.

Tim, very attentiv. Four eyes see more than two as we say in Germany.
But please keep in mind the 800 miles which lie between Warsaw and Moscow (about the same between Nevada and Denver). And there is a mountain of furs on the backseat (#1). Heavy furs. The driver looks as big as a grizzly (#2). It was cold in January 1930 in Warsaw but not very cold. The breathing air isn't condensed and other photographs taken that day show participants without gloves. Moreover the hunting party consists of bad prepared city dwellers, filled with adrenaline upon first sight of a stuffed squirrel. sources image #1, #2 - State Archives Poland license: public domain temperature profile - weatherspark.com Click to enlarge!

It might be the same car, at least it is same type of car at the same location but now in wartime.
