In the first place, B18633 isn't a vehicle number, the vehicle number would appear on a metal plate affixed to the driver's side A pillar. A 1951 convertible VN would begin with 2469 followed by a space and 4 more digits; a 1952 convertible would begin with 2579 followed by 4 more digits - see example of vehicle number plate below. Motor numbers for 1951 would begin with the letter "J", and for 1952 with the letter "K".
B18633 is a "theft-proof" or body serial number and it falls into the range for 1952 Packard automobiles. The theft-proof number was a number Packard could use to identify a vehicle if the primary number (VN or vehicle number) was mutilated or missing; most of those records no longer exist.
