Bet this one doesn't draw near as many comments. For a couple reasons.

A car that people...if they could have afforded it would have killed for back in the day. Very nice exposure and the colors are great also. Where was the car located in this photo?
Is this local to dallas or was this at the "Peterson" or similar museum?

Does anyone know, did that have a jump seat in the back?

As far as I know, this one has no jumpseat. At least, one isn't apparent. This is a museum in San Marcos TX, Dick's Classic Garage.

The rear end on the other one was nice.

That's a Doctors Model....
That's a Doctors Model....
TRUE....Many Packards came this way, with golf club stowage behind the drive seat, across the width of the car.
Sized for two sets of clubs across the car, to carry clubs for the max passenger limit in the car. Gas was 10 cents a gallon, remember?
The car itself was about $2500 depression era dollars.
The hatch behind the driver door was for Golf Clubs stowed sideways across behind the seats. No passenger capacity,,,, unless there was a rumble seat way back. To a Doctor, his golf clubs were more important than any passenger.
Interesting design detail... the lines on the vent, door and golf club hatch all align at the same angle, similar to the rake on the windshield.
Looks like and earlier model than the Yellow one, possibly not a Boattail Speedster, but definitely an Auburn by the Auburn emblem on the spare tire.
Judging by the HUGE spotlight, I'd say this car was sold to a Golfing Doctor, who also "poached" deer on back roads at night. That one would stop a deer in it's tracks, as in "the look of a deer in the headlights."

The spotlight provides the Golfing Doctor with extra time on the links. This was before "night golf balls" don't you know.
Y'all should try to attend "Coffee & Cars" the first Saturday of the month. The biggest open air museum of cars that actually run on the street. I was taken in by what I thought to be an Auburn Boat Tail Speedster. Turned out to be a less than ideal replica. Still looking for one on the street.
