I get the Hemmings email newsletter, thought this was interesting..

Packard

Wow! That's cool! We could definitely add that to the C&G Classic Limo fleet.

From here it looks like the roof is open, isn't that a smidge of daylight I see, looking through the top of the front door window, and it looks like the "sunroof" stops just ahead of the rearmost door, if you look at the roof. Or I could be on the wacky weed, not sure.

Yeah, that's what it looks like...maybe had a folding canvas roof section or something... I'm sure there isn't much left useable if it sat that way for decades..

NM is pretty arid- sheetmetal should be fine- I certainly don't see a lacey lower edge to it.

What will be a memory is any cloth & rubber- tho that is easily replaced.

Autoblog picked up the story and added a few more photos:

I've ridden in a '41 Packard ... but not a limo:
