Please help me identify this car

[Heater]

This was my father's first car, he bought it in 1947. I think it's a Packard but can anyone help me with the year and model? This is the only picture I have. Thaks in advance!

I have no idea, but it is a lovely car.

I don't know the exact year or model either, but it definitely looks mid-forties. Do you know if it's possible he bought it new?

Hello,
It looks to me like a 1940 Packard 120

I'm pretty sure he bought it used. He saved for a long time for it.

It is a 1940 but the model is going to be a little tougher to figure out. It is either a 120 or 110 and considering the front bumper Im going with 110.

Yep, it's a '40 with those parking lights on the fenders. It can be a bit tougher to bullseye late pre-war Packards because the company's styling evolved so incrementally compared to, say, GM. Given the bumper, I'd agree with with the model-1389 110 convertible coupe designation, as well.

Simply gorgeous!

You should ask the man who owns one.

Its a 39-37 Packard or a 37 Lasalle. Good cars to bad they went out of business. I have a 56 Mercury and now Murcury is gone.
