When I was at the Berkeley Lab, the building that held the 184-inch cyclotron was being used for the Advanced Light Source. Lots of photons.

When I was at the Berkeley Lab... John (JW), thanks again. What did you do there? Please find attached another snapshot of his car, taken on September 25, 1940.

Looks like a '39 Super 8 to me. Well, I believe anyway.

RE: 1941 160 Packard; Different tires & no fender mounted spare
Perhaps the photo was made in the World War II period of 1942-45 time frame when tires were rationed and the fender mounted spares were used for another car?

Mike, looks like the RH spare has been removed and a bracket for hauling long material has been mounted in its place. Another bracket is mounted near the front of the front fender. Don't remember the time-frame of the cyclotron construction, but probably done in the early 1940s.

Sergei Mironovich Kirov (born Sergei Mironovich Kostrikov), 27 March 1886 – 1 December 1934, was a Soviet politician and Bolshevik revolutionary whose assassination led to the first Great Purge ... Kirov had shortened his last name from Kostrikov to Kirov, a practice common among Russian revolutionaries of the time. Kirov began using the pen name "Kir"... acc. to Wikipedia.
He wasn't the only one Russian revolutionist, who preferred a short name but a long car. Dark hubcaps, even a dark radiator grill(?) - doubtless an impressive Packard. image source: philologist.livejournal.com Attach file: 1933 Kirow.jpg (141.75 KB)
