Change to front bumper was a running change during the 22nd series production run. Check Bob Neal's book for details.

Neil's book (a valuable resource for anyone with a post-war 22-23 series car) tells me that the instrument cluster appears to be from a 23 series car, and possibly not this 22nd car. The 22nd cars did not have "Packard" signage between the speedometer and the clock but the 1949-50s cars like mine do. This raises the possibility that the cluster, including the low mileage odometer, might be from another car. Further investigation to protect that claim might be in order.

Otherwise, from the pictures shown, this appears to be a very nice car. Learn the differences between the two series and you'll appreciate it, as it stands. Just be careful about the mileage claims...they might be right but something appears to have been changed thereabouts.
