Interesting vehicle, certainly not a factory offering. Could be a home-built but more likely the work of a coachbuilder on a Packard chassis.

There is certainly plenty of info on prewar Packard station wagons to be found on this website and in various Packard publications. In 1940-41 they were a popular factory offering, bodied by Hercules I believe, and you'll find pictures of one of the earliest known, 1934 Eight rebodied from an 1100 or 1101 sedan by Bridgeport, in the photo archive.

Check your vehicle over carefully for an indications of who the coachbuilder might have been. Typical locations for bodybuilder's ID would be sill plates, cowl plates, plates under the carpet or under the seats, etc.

EDIT- apparently I didn't post a prior photo of the 1934 Eight by Bridgeport, rebodied from a 4-door sedan. The car was owned for years by Paul Lamb of Englewood, NJ, passed thru several hands, was at the 1999 Centennial in Warren, OH, and is now part of a well-known New Jersey collection. Sorry, don't recall who the photographer was.
