Re: Should 22nd and 23rd series Custom 8 Victorias be CCCA classics

I've owned both a 22nd and 23rd series Custom 8 sedan, the former for over 20 years (both now sold off). They are truly one fine car, the closest Packard ever came postwar to the quality and class of the best of the prewar cars. One reason you don't see them often is that they only comprised about 3% of Packard's production between 1948 and 1950. I don't know which is rarer today, the 7-passenger models or the club sedan, rare to sight either one.
