Beautiful old Packard! They were noted for making high quality cars back then. From the mid 1930's to late 1940's,many automakers used a simulated wood grain finish on their metal dashboards and window surrounds - it was considered high style during that time period....
The prism is so you can see the traffic light without leaning forward and craning your neck. It's not a reflection, it bends the light much as a lens does, only in one direction and not all directions.
It’s a magnificent car and a true shame that Packard isn’t around anymore. They we’re definitely a high class vehicle and set the world standard in so many ways. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching

Overdrive operates in 2nd and 3rd, giving the car a 5-speed transmission.
Thanks for the update!
Nice , had a neighbor down the street that had a 48 or 49 Packard limousine, his was a California car since new. Packard outsold Cadillac in 48&49
