There is only a little more to this car than what is in the picture. Doesn't look like the way I remember a '37.

Looks a lot like a 40 to me. But, others here can tell you much more about it.

Just kicking around in the archives here, I found what is listed as a right hand drive 1938 dash. Looks pretty close to me.

Well, the steering wheel and lack of passageway under the dash for a column shifter shaft lead me to believe it is a 38. Flackmaster and/or Owen_Dyneto can likely lend certain identification.

Good luck,
Jim

Good thinking. It is a floor shift car, the transmission is missing. I forgot about dating late 30's cars by the conversion to column shift.

1938 Packard 110 4 Door Sedan, body style 1182.


Thanks for the contribution and confirmation of the year. I still think it is a 120, the transmission is gone but the 8 cylinder block is still there. If I have it right, the bango wheel was an accessory.

I figured my guess at a 110 would be challenged...obviously someone has changed the door panels to the 110 style :) But I was right about it being a 4 door sedan?

38 was the only year for the decal vin tag,hope its not missing ?Its a 38 dash for sure,if it has a trip odometer then it more than likely a 120.You could measure the wheel base to be positive.The banjo wheel was an option.

Yes, it is a 4 door sedan; unfortunately past the point of reasonable restoration because of too much missing. If it were a coupe, I would be taking a different view. Anyone who can tell that from a door panel needs commendation.
