Identification Help

Posted by jspytek On 2018/11/7 1:01:53

Hello, I'm a new Packard owner. The title I received says K226326 which matches the engine. According to the PDF on this site, PackardEngineSerials.pdf, the engine number is correct for the year and the model of car.

However the body says Vehicle Number 2562-18903.

My biggest concern is the title which I have to have transfered into my name yet has vehicle miles of 42534, while the odometer says 41519. The prior owner was a collector of Packards and LaSalles. I'm trying to see if this title is correct before I send it into the state and lose it.

Is this still the correct title for this car? I noticed a few years later there are VIN numbers but I believe the 1952 predated a standard VIN number. I just find it odd they didn't use the Vehicle Number for the title.

Any help would be appreciated.
