Seller was hoping for $15-20,000. The 4 Packards up for bid today are out of my pay grade so I will not be following them.

This eBay Packard is an example of my frustration with some ads.
The vehicle is described as a 49 Packard Super 8 which is Body No. 2272, Chassis 2202, w/ 327 in3 engine.. The first for digits of the VIN number are 2262 which infer a 49 Packard Deluxe 8 Body No. 2272, Chassis No. 2202, w/ 288 in3 engine. This concern for accuracy is one of several examples that prompt my question regarding the 288, 327, 356 Spotters Guide. What am I missing here?

My understanding of the VN is the 2262 is actually a '48. If it was re-tagged(sorry don't recall the exact nomenclature used)'48 to make it a '49 it would show 2262-9. Otherwise, the VN for a '49 would be 2362
That appears to be the 1st mistake, the wrong year identified on the listing. It should cause a buyer to look further. If I recall correctly, I had a serious look at the images posted and noted the dash panel was missing the "PACKARD" emblem in the lower portion between the speedometer and clock, something added to the '49. Also, the brake and clutch pedals were similar to those used in a '48, though I realize that is not definitive as a previous owner could have changed them. According to info on this site, you are correct, the engine should be a 288 for a '48, 2262. The engine could have been replaced at some time, so further investigation and number checks should have been done.

I do not think the 42 Packard Clipper sold at auction today. I watched the bidding and recorded a high bid of $52,500 but there was no indication of a sale taking place.
