If the run made a few years ago sold out quickly, maybe a new batch would do well. We seem to be a period where 22-23 series cars are becoming popular what with several new ones appearing on the forum recently. Doubt all have pristine plates so there might be some interest. I would imagine it is a lot easier to make a mold now with modern CNC equipment than it was when the first batch was made. If that is the case, perhaps some could be produced and sold at a reasonable price.

I know there is a different part number but am curious what the difference is between 21 and 22-23 items. If something minor in the design such as a slightly different pattern that only a Packard expert would catch, then maybe others besides 22-23 would be interested in an "incorrect" set for driver cars. If something like size or a grossly different look then probably a no go unless a way could be found for affected parts to be molded separately and spliced together so a run could span more than one series.

I would consider a set if it would work and there were plans for a 4 door run.
