I am the owner of Classic 2 Current Fabrication, and we do currently manufacture the front and rear floor pans as well as the inner and outer rocker panels for the 1948-50 Packard. The gentleman who stated above that the body moldings did not line up on his convertible was correct about much of what he stated. We're learning much about these as we go along because we were originally provided with a fiberglass template that was molded from the coupe. When installing these into the sedan, the rear floor pan only covers as far as to where the passenger's in the back would place there feet (about a 15inch gap from there to the trunk). Because the convertibles have a cross beam behind the front seats, some trimming is required when installing these onto that. These are also interchangeable for the 1941-47 Packard Clipper, also with some trimming required. Once unique thing about being located outside of Detroit is that we actually have a very good friend of the original Packard proven grounds driver working with us to figure out all of the makes and models that our panels fit and what work is required when installing these. We currently have the trunk floor pan for the 1948-50 into production, but we're waiting on pictures of the trunk so we are able to finish this project and make these available to the public.
