Hey, Tom
Did you check the Photo Archive? There is a black coupe, which clearly shows pinstripping. I'm sure it's just a double strip that leads all the way to the end of the belt line, then closes up at the end. Attach file:  (64.57 KB)

West,
Yes, I did look through the photo archive.There is not quite enough resolution to see what the lines look like. Are they super-thin like on the 34? Were the fender edges ever pinstriped? Etc. Thanks, Tom

Thin to win, and no striping anywhere else. I think 1937 was the last year for any striping on the fenders, and that would have been on the Senior 8's and 12's.
the wheel pinstripping is much wider, but I think you have that detail.

West,
OK. Then was it doubled, like the 11th series car below, or a single line like on my 30? Photo courtesy of Dave Czirr. Tom EDIT: Dave, I hope it was OK to post this! Attach file: (49.69 KB)

I'd be very, very surprised if it was a double-double. Of course, if that's the way the owner wanted it, I'm sure it would have been done for him, although I don't even think there's enough room on the belt line for two double stripes, is there?
Personally, i'd do a single-double.

Here's a photo showing the front. You can barely see the stripe, but if you squint... http://cgi.ebay.com/1939-Packard-Super-Eight-Factory-Photo-/370485202739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5642a38f33

West,
Thanks. Geez, that is a nice photo. So do you think the eight and super eight would have had the same pinstripe pattern? It looks to be about 1/16" to 3/32" in width. Again, thanks tons for the help. Tom

Tom-
Email Gina nahc@detroitpubliclibrary.org and for $20 or so you can have a very high res scan of your car from that archive photo. She's very helpful. It would be helpful for the pin stripe and perhaps other details, too. Joe
