Gentlemen, A friend of my has a 1954 Packard 8cyl convertible for sale.
He is not sure what model the car is because it does not have any markings on the side or trunk other than the Packard script. I looked at the drivers side door jam and the chrome plate has the numbers 5479-2443. From my experience I know that the 5479 means a convertible and the 2443 is the # of car that was produced. The only other # I could find was on the passenger side firewall and That was C79197D. I had researched some of the old motors manuals and determined that the engine is probably a 327. but a Pacific or Caribbean would have a 359 cu engine.
Any help in identifying the type of car would really be appreciated. Again I am very inept on getting my pictures on this website. Vin
