Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I am looking for some help here, I bought two Packard's from a salvage yard and also got this pile of parts. The yards owner called the parts from a Dr's Coupe. The frame was cut in two and the top and rear section of the car are gone. I know its at least a 1938. I thought the Jr cars did not have any wood after 37. I have only had one 38-41 car a 38 1601 Henney Ambulance which had plenty of wood in it. Are these Senior or Junior parts? The headlight buckets don't seem long enough for Senior? I will take it apart and put them in a shop I am setting up in the downtown of the town where I live. Not much there for sure but maybe someone will need a small part or two. I hate to throw away something someone might be able to use. Thanks for any thoughts on the year and model range in advance.

Looks to me like a 16th series (1938) six. Brake drums, steering box, and transmission parts perhaps, but the rest is likely scrap.

I did count the plugs Engine is almost all there and there were 8 so maybe a 1601?

Right on, Don. Henney. Confirmation by front brake drums, maybe, but door wood is the dead giveaway. Hmmm... dead & giveaway in the same sentence, hmmm...

Looks like you got a "1/2 Off" Special!
