Hi,
I am looking for a 39 or 40 160 coupe with the super 8. Prefer overdrive. No OD is o-k too. You can e-mail direct to FirstEliminator@aol.com thanks, Mark

There were no 160s in 1939 as 1940 was the first year to use the designation. There were, however, Super Eights.

Not so close mechanically. The 40 is first year for the 356 engine

39 engine is more interesting mechanically, while the 40 engine is more "modern". the dash on a 39 is way better looking, if proper. overddrives slightly different. Best thing to do is see and drive both before deciding, and of course submitting to the Pinfo jury for support.

The 1940 R9 is much simpler and easier to get parts for that than the earlier R6 and many other differences too. I’ve owned both 1939 and 1940 Packards, albeit Junior models, I would take the 1940 any day.

Update: Leaning towards the 40 has tilted a little more today. Unless a 39 Super Eight coupe comes along at a really good deal.
