G'day rickh,
 to PackardInfo.In my inexperienced opinion the first photo could well be a late 30's Packard, while the bottom photo may not be a Packard. However, the more experienced will be able to give definitive answers.

I'm definitely not the most experienced packard identifier but this is what I notice on the 1st picture :
3 on the three first year 1939 Clock on the glove compartment makes it a 110 or a 120.

The car in the earlier photo is most likely a GM product, because that looks like a "Body by Fisher" tag on the lower leading edge of the cowl.

In fact, I'll go a little further out on a limb and say that it's likely a 1930 Chevrolet.

I can see now that it does resemble a chevy, do you think the second car is the same? I thought the visor and windshield was unique to a packard, but after searching for the chevy, I see that both are very simular. Thanks for replies, would love to know what model chevy if anyone knows.

You might try asking on the AACA site. There is a General forum in which questions like your are frequently asked, and answered. A more diverse group visits there.

My guess would be a 40 due to the chrome strip on the door. The 39 and 38 did not have the chrome. John

Hi
The car in the second photo is a '31 Oakland or Pontiac. The Fisher body with that molding style and visor were unique to 1931 Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Oaklands and Oldsmobiles. Only Oaklands and Pontiacs had the louvers on a raised panel. For 1932, the visor disappeared and the GM went to hood doors across the board. Steve

I think you are right Steve, I located this 31 oakland and from all appearances it looks the same, until today I never knew the oakland existed. thanks
