Photo must be later 1934 as it's a 1935 Packard pictured.

The 12th series came out in September 1934 right? So 1934 could be right.

It has 1934 license plates tags on it. So for sure must have been delivered in 1934.

I believe the introduction date of the '35 Eights was August 30 so the photo must date to after that if it is correctly dated as 1934 though it's possible the photographer was mislead by the fact that the car carries a 1934 license plate. Did you notice the "Ace-style" wire wheel shrouds? Not often seen, at least one model in the new car catalog was always pictured with them; not sure I like them. They are perhaps more common today on restorations than they were when new.

Friends, thanks for the classification.

Looks like the very same location as above in post #7. This and the quality of the photos point to press photographs or at least photos, made in a professional way.
