Hi 55 Packard Guy,
Yep, that's me standing by dad's 23rd series, think it was purchased in the summer of 1949, I would have been about six at the time so the photo may have been somewhat later.
It became my car in high school when dad purchased a new car in 1960. I foolishly traded on a used TR3 being sold by the former Packard Dealer about 1961.
The TR3 lasted about a year till I married Maxine in 1962. We had a rather rough 55 (400?) and a really nice 55 Clipper purchased from the secretary at the Packard dealership, drove those till our first new car in 1964.
Still have Maxine and in recent years a couple of Packards again, just too limited on time to enjoy them fully.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/registry/index.php?Action=view&ID=1150https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/registry/index.php?Action=view&ID=1281
Short tale about another sports car and our Packardhttp://www.hiddenvalleymotel.com/media/redroadster.pdf
The 23rd series was dads only Packard, Uncle Joe had a 46 or 47 Clipper. Once had the chance at a 40 or 41 Custom 180 with jump seats, it was the one that got away, I couldn't talk dad into advancing me the 75.00 asking price.
