Yup... definatelly a Packard. Love those teardrop headlights, aerodynamic fenders and sidemount spares. :D

[VenSeattle]

not a Packard... :AH-HA_wink: It is a Limited Edition, though. :)

I am going to guess it's a late 30's Buick Limited that belonged to a Chinese emperor or something. Notice the interior, not much plastic in there, except for maybe the steering wheel rim. The little round sign on the back gives it away as some sort of "official" car, I'd say. Edited December 4, 2005 by ocnblu

ocn as usual is right there with his 'aww shucks' guess: it's a '36 Buick. First year for suicide doors. I'm going to say it's the Limited Formal Sedan, one of 74 built.

Actually, suicide doors can be found on Buicks as early as 1920. Perhaps earlier? Not sure.

Ocn was very close but BuickEight hit it right on the head. This is a 1936 "Buick 8 Limited" limousine modified by McLaughlin. This Buick was the personal limousine for King Edward VIII.
