The 22-23 series did seem to get around didn't they. Central casting must have had a garage full in the 50s. Didn't catch the name of the movie but I saw the last half of a spy thriller set in early wartime Latin America a while back. It was in black and white but there was a light colored 23rd Packard carrying a main character in several scenes. I remember how the oval tail lights stood out as it took off chasing another character driving a proper looking car for the era. At least that Packard didn't smash into a gasoline tanker and go over a cliff in a mass of flames like they did to a 22-23 convertible in another movie.
