Someone sent me some pictures of a 38 packard. According to him its a 120 so definitely a super 8.
I think he got the 38 eight (120) and the super 8 mixed up. Here are some pictures, can anyone identify this positively?

Based on the photo of the engine, its an Eight not a Super Eight.

I like the acorn nut on top of the heater shut-off valve. Subtle, but elegant.

One easy way is to look at the taillights. The 110 and 120 have small taillights that are roughly oval shaped, with the top part slightly larger than the bottom. The glass lights are in a housing that completely contacts the fender - it's not on a stalk. Look at page three of the 1938 photo section for a rear photo.

it's a Junior- 110 if a six or 120 if an 8. It does have the 1940 running lights, which is not uncommon. However, the dual hood ornament is.
