For what it is worth, "Maybelle", my 1950 Packard Eight Touring Sedan still had its glove box documentation intact. Coincidently, it is painted in Egyptian Sand and has almost all of the striped cloth upholstery still there.

The documentation on my paper is still rather good, a bit water stained, but with some pencil and yellow crayon markings. It reads 2392-5 C 29403 OD HE 47.. Obviously, that's the model number for a touring sedan in the Twenty-third series, not a renumbered car, the vehicle number, the Egyptian Sand paint, Overdrive and I'll presume the type of heater. Don't know what the two dots mean. The handwritten pencil mark reads "904" which I presume was either a date or production line number. Nothing else is on my paper document.
