After 11 years, we get a picture of the car. Thanks to KVCCC Member S Hegde, who post a KVCCC Rally picture, where this car had attended

I have seen this car personally, it remains in great shape. It has a partition glass, so as DKG had stated, it is a Touring Limousine. I understand that this is Ex-Kolhapur, but cannot authenticate the same from my side.

Re: Packards in India

That’s a 1941/42 Packard . The grill changed in 1945 but rest of the mechanicals and trim stayed the same. The dash changed too after the war.

Great find.

Re: Packards in India

My grandfather used to own a Packard. It was I think a 1940-41 model as per my father, and it had that flying lady logo.
