Re: So.......What do you think of this number?

Very interesting speculation.....this gets back to my wishful thinking that if only these cars could talk.

I will get my scraper and cleaner out this afternoon and look for a casting date on the block.

I also have Model A and T Fords and have run across number discrepancies a lot. Makes the hobby more fun and interesting!

Also had a BB 1974 Corvette once that I sold. The buyer discovered I had the wrong replacement distributor in the car, had a major FIT about the wrong numbers, chastised me soundly! You would have though I painted a mustache on Mona Lisa!

Numbers are fun from a historical standpoint but the bottom line is to have fun with whatever Packard one has.
