1938 info

Not too shy to talk

Can anybody tell me what these numbers mean?

Is this anything special?

11182042 identification number
1604 model description

2 dr

Ive seen other pictures, but on mine, it don't have the spare tires on the fenders, its on the back trunk lid after the rumble seat.

Are there any body parts available for this? Running boards, rear fenders?

You can decode those numbers by selecting the Model Info option from the main menu.

1604 defines a 1938 Packard Super Eight chassis with the 134 inch wheelbase. This is a CCCA bona-fide Full Classic and with one of the less-common body styles.

The 1118 identifies the body as a 2-4 passenger coupe and the 2042 further identifies it as the 42nd 2-4 passenger coupe mounted on a 1604 chassis. Sidemounted spare tires were an option.

Sidemounted front fenders, I can provide, along with a grille/shell/headlights/hood. I may have a pair of runningboards, I need to measure the length. Rear fenders I do not have, and they will be tough to find.
You never replied to prior inquiry.

sorry about not replying, if you have the head light buckets, and the running boards that would save me a lot of work.

I will not need the gauges either if you are interested in trading. you can see through the gauges, trip meter, all clear,

All i want this for is the body. The frame and drive train is sold also. I wont need the spare tire carrier on the back if your interested in that.

Did you ever find them? I also need head light buckets.

Thanks.

just got distracted...headlight buckets as shown, $200 for the pair, quite solid, missing one of the hollow bolts, but one of yours should be salvageable. Runningboards ain't gonna happen - my contact is going to save them for a project he will never get to....sorry for the hopes. still a big N.O. on rear fenders.

Whatever happened to the car in the original post? Those rear fenders are unique to the convertibles and coupes. Don't throw them away. More than likely you're going to have to restore them.
