Re: 1948 Info and Whereabouts?

That engine number does make it a 1948 [22nd Series] Custom. I think it would be very rare that a South Wind heater would have been used in a 1948 Custom as Packard provided a factory installed, fresh air system that took advantage of the built in air ducts. Unless it was re-done, the interior would most likely have been a fine wool broadcloth with the Shadow Check pattern (not Mohair).

Finding the car today with just the engine number would be difficult at best. If you had the serial number you might have a better chance.
