The deluxe heater is reversable. There were two different kinds of switches, a paddle switch, and the more common round knob.

John,
Here's what the paddle switch looks like. There is a wiring diagram for auxiliary equipment like a heater in the 1940 Owners Manual. packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1940_110_120_OwnersManual.pdf Page 41 Joe

And what's left of a rotary switch for models that used them.
Not sure which year but this particular heater is a "Super Deluxe" and has a fan blade that blows CCW thru core to floor and a squirrel cage blower on the same shaft that when turned CW, blows air to defroster vents. 4 wires going to motor & wish I could help on the colors and terminals on switch but no markings other than color dots on switch and too faded to see those or the wire colors. Joe's looks in better shape so maybe he can help with location.

Thanks, no luck on the paddle switch but may have found the rotary switch not Packard but new old stock aftermarket for a 6 volt reversible heater should look authentic.
To all who replied thanks John

I'm not surprised you didn't find a paddle switch. They are very, very rare. If one did come up for sale, you'd probably pay well over $200 for it, if the person knew what they had, and if there were no knowledgable bidders.
