Howard, I did a little more digging through my papers and the last Oregon Title using the engine number was issued in 2005. Since that date it changed hands once more before me and that used the factory number: 2462 31259. Before '05 and beginning in 1955 the car was owned by two members of the Ashcraft family in the Roseburg, OR area, beginning with Virginia Ashcraft who owned it from 1955 to 1985 when it went to another member of the family that kept it until 2005. Interestingly, according to our Dealership List, Ashcraft is the name of the senior partner of a Roseburg area Packard dealer.
