Answer 1

Y'all's new coats and books and shiny new Packards!

Step-by-step explanation:

The reference to Packards provide an idea of the story's time period. Packard was a luxury automobile brand that reigned between 1899 to 1956. They were built by the Packard Automobile brand company, located in Detroit, Michigan, United States.

The Logan family seemed to live in luxury as it was said that they owned shiny new Packards. So, the period of existence of these cars gives an idea of when the story was set.
