First of all, I am assuming that the beautiful Packard sedan in the photo is possibly a 1940, but as usual will depend on my good buddy and automotive historian Ray Paskiewicz to keep me honest and correct the date should I have chosen the incorrect year. Secondly, and again speculation, that that old Packard is parked in front of the Harrison Avenue Police Station where there is a wedding being performed, after which the newlyweds will head out for their honeymoon.

HI TOM....I DO BELIEVE THAT IS A 1940 PACKARD AND THE ONE WE DROVE ON OCCASSIONS. THE CAR BELONGED TO MY FATHER'S EMPLOYER WHO LET US USE IT AT TIMES.
Hi Tom, Just got back to my house, after staying at both of my son's, one in Red Bank and the other in Riverton. No power, no water, nothing for 10 days at my place. My road looks like a war zone, lost 2 trees, plus plenty of huge branches everywhere on my property. Western Monmouth County. The Packard is a 1938 120 or Six, which is a junior series, not the big Eight. Best regards, rayfromvillapark
THANKS, RAY. RALPH AND I STAND CORRECTED. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S STORM PROBLEMS. IN ALL MY YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH DEVASTATION.
Boy that Packard sure looks like the one owned by Harry Hartman, Sheriff's John Hartman's brother and partner in the slaugher house about 10 blocks away. The number on the licence plate seems familiar also.
The 1938 Touring Sedan was priced at $1095 for the Packard Six and $1295 for the One Twenty. This car is a One Twenty, because of the long side trim on the hood. The Six had three spaced out trim pieces in the same location. This car was also fitted with a radio.
