The only thing I can find with the small crease in the roof over the center of the windsheild is a 1939 Packard Twelve 1707 Formal Sedan. See: http://www.ohioconcours.com/1999/99-167.jpg . However, this one is longer and is probably a limo of some sort. I only know for sure that its a Packard -- Last edit: 2006-03-20 19:11:17
