We have one listed as "180", and this one as "One-Eighty". So what is the best naming for these Packards? Same question for the "110", and for the few "One Twenty" without "-"... |

1941 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty, a long name... One-Eighty is even badged on the cars this year, no "-" should be used. If it should be Super-8 or Super Eight differs over the years, for simplicty when searching we might use the letters on all. But maybe it´s better to use the designations applied by Packard even if they mix numbers and letters. For 1939 there´s the Packard Six, the Packard 120 and the Packard Super-8 for instance. http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B4209.jpg http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B30908.jpg -- Last edit: 2006-07-15 13:43:40 |

They used different styles in advertising, but that's just advertising. I think it would be better to use the name used for registration of the car, or the name usually used in serious books etc. Using the same naming style for various models also makes easy the search of them on the site, as you said. As example I could give the Renault with numbers: they often wrote the numbers in letters (and even nicknames, like "Supercinq" for the new Renault 5), though the official names were using numbers... |

I put One-eighty in the edit(I removed the dash) because thats the way its on the car. I understand simplification thought, so which ever way y all decide is fine with me. It really doesnt matter to me. |
