Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Hello all.

You're looking at a photo of my great grandfather, great grandmother, and grandfather that I just viewed for the first time this past weekend. My family on my Dad's side owned a couple mid-to-late 30's era Packards: this is the only photo I've yet found of one of them.

I need help ID'ing what year/model my great grandad's Packard is.

Thanks everyone!

I believe it's a1937 120 1092 Touring Sedan. By the straight door handles early in the production for the year.

Pretty cool shades for that era

Thanks for the advice! Yep, great grandad is wearing some pretty cool-man shades for the era. Not exactly Ray Bans but still. Kinda funny: in most of the pictures of him I've seen, he was very formally attired in a suit, coat, fedora, scarf, the typical garb of a well-to-do 1940's east coast business man. And he had the big gut to prove it. This set of photos I researched last weekend showed him at the beach, yukking it up, having a blast, shirtless, in these shades. Funny how you get to see different sides of people in different settings. This Packard photo definitely shows his 'cooler' side. Thrilled when I found it.
