A missing patent plate should automatically cast suspicion about authenticity. But note that the highly respected analysis of surviving vehicle numbers by Charlie Blackman estimates that 16 of 721 style were built. In my own records I note 721-26 as a surviving car with theft-proof 182417, which would also represent the 16th such car. So Charlie and I are apparently both dependent on the same single bit of data in our conclusions.

Have you discussed this with Jim Pearsall of Zarepath, New Jersey? Jim is a leading historian in this era of Packards, and especially the 11th Series, IMO he is absolutely the go-to guy with such questions.
