Hi Puttenham

Welcome to the Forum. The good, solid advice Howard and Don have given should be kept in mind when investigating prospects. They know of what they speak.

To assist your search, I'd recommend you check the Various CL Pickings thread frequently as both good original and finely restored 22nd and 23rd Series cars show up and are posted for those considering a purchase. Best advice is to be patient in your search, investigate many then buy the best one you can find and afford for the money.

Before you dive in, please take the time to acquire and read a copy of Packard 1948-1950 by Robert J Neal if you haven't already. Its the in depth definitive source on these model years. Knowledge is power and this book will give you that.

Good luck in your pursuit, keep us apprised and don't hesitate to ask advice on specific cars.

Steve
