No, I'm not familiar with the Packard numbering system, not having reached the level of expert yet. Thanks for answering what was my original question, which maybe you misunderstood when you gave just the totals produced.

So, If anyone finds one of the highest numbers for each model on their car's id plate, they'll have quite an interesting piece of information. Doing this same kind of calculation for other models and years will tell a lot about the latest examples in existence. The information could be compared with the "survivors" list serial numbers for an interesting little look at what are the highest numbered (and lowest numbered) currently known surviving cars of the various years and models.

However, the last '54 ultimately produced, which would be the last Packard to emerge from the East Grand plant, would be impossible to determine from serial numbers, since the numbers cover all models, and all were produced on the same line.

Not quite as momentous as the last "real" Packard produced, but the last out of the "real" Packard plant would be a piece of interesting history as well.
