Agreed, I think the Exec rules.
And they were evidently appeaingl to buyers at the time. Although not many were built, Packard could sell them as fast as they could get them off the line. The other possibility is that they were converting leftover senior rear fenders, which had holes in that upper location for the Packard script. Reason I lean toward this answer is because it really couldn't be a "line error" because the stampings already had the holes punched prior to assembly--correct?
Or, you could check for signs of a collision repair, which may have ended up with the script getting moved inadvertently... or on purpose. Like mischievous auto body workers used to "rename" cars by scrambling the individual letters, like turning a FORD into a DORF. This actually happened to a '68 Mustang a friend of mine had. Of course, the bodyshop knew he would have fun with it.
In any case, that's a fine looking car.
Flowers... I get it--it's a Honeybee color scheme, so naturally, it needs some flowers to go with it. I sense female involvement here.
