G'day jc, 68427vette,
to PackardInfo. See there's this Henney Hearse in the Packard Owner's Registry. It's a '42 and if your number is 2001 then it would fit the bill. The pic's will help to tell the story. The Thief Proof Number embossed into the firewall will also help with member Owen_Dyneto able to assist if you can provide that. Speaking of assisting, once you've determined what it is, could you please include it in the Packard Owner's Registry?

sure, i'll go back and get some photso and the number!! jc

2001A would be a 1942 commercial chassis. Numbering started at 2001 so it would appear to be the 724th commercial chassis in 1942. Coachwork most probably by Henney.

PS - another place for information on these vehicles is "The Professional Car Society".

Commercial chassis often use a mix of Junior, Senior, and Henney-only parts. The gang here can help sort that out. The engine number is going to be an starting point to tell if it's a 356 or a 282

pictures as promised, its not a panel version,,( i have a 41 caddy with no windows in the back, sorry, its jambed in my other 80 cars/trucks..
659I93 looks to be the number

you may have to cut/paste

how many produced?
what year? 41-42

were is the engine number location at??

thanks jc

like i posted i have about 50 wwii trucks, etc i saw the glove box, and thought MILITARY.. in 41-42 after Pearl Harbor, the US government bought up all stocks of commercial and alot of passenger trucks and cars,, and painted them GREEN,, this one looks to have been tan,, then greenish,, but no government normenclature (data)plates like my 41 cadillac ambulance,, jc

Seems very complete. Thanks for posting all the pictures.
