Re: Help identify a straight 8

Just to offer a slight correction on 49Packard's comment on the differentiation between a 49 22nd series and a 50 23rd series, the -9- or -5- wasn't suffixed, it was inserted between the body type (e.g. 2252) and the production number (eg. 2XXX). Thus a 1948 Custom 8 sedan would be 2252-XXXX, but a 1949 but 22nd series car would be 2252-9-XXXX, and similarly for the 23rd series.
