Re: 1951 250 research

Well, I think we have settled that the 1951 louvers were di-cast and 1952-53 were stainless. So far there have been 20 entries on this thread - and not a single VIN to help pin down the change from 4 to 3 on the 1951 cars. Any VIN is useful, by the way. It does not have to be known to close to the switch.

Also - anyone ever seen or have record of a 1951 250 with no louvers at all that actually reached customer hands. There are factory pictures of early cars so done, and the first Packard ad showing a convertible pictured one. Also the original dealer brochure pictured one.
