Canadian Packards were the same models as there US counterparts. As far as I understand it, it had a lot to do with taxes. Canadian built packards could be exported to other British common wealth countries with paying a bunch of tax. I'm sure someone else here can (&probably will) give a better and more detailed explanation.

We've chatted about this previously. The Canadian-built Packards were essentially the same as their US counterparts with the obvious exceptions, the patent plate, vehicle numbers (different sequential # starting point for Canadian-built) and the sourcing of non-US components. Cars from either plant could have metric instrumentation, depending on destination. This 1937 article from Canadian Auto Trader will give some insight into the differences in component sourcing.
