Packard about 1930? There's gotta be a straight-8 under that loooong hood.
Well, the 28" barrels and the 1 1/2 frame blows holes in my theory, but....
A 1 1/2 frame Parker was normally used for a 12 gauge...
A LOT of metal would have been removed in order to contour the exterior down to a manageable-weight 16 gauge. I'll bet it has some considerable 'swamping' of the barrels.
