I'm not aware that there ever was a record kept by Packard of the VNs of the Golden Anniversary cars. All the true ones (and there are some repaints and others of doubtful originality) that I'm aware of fall between theft-proof or body serial #s of 884730 and 888189 though there are a much larger number of non-Golden Anniversary cars comingled within that range of numbers. What is the theft-proof # of your car?

The fact that you found what appears to be gold paint on the rubber hood pads strongly suggests to me that the car was not an original Golden Anniversary car but a repaint in gold at a latter date.
