Under the hood on the cowl, there should be a rectangular Packard "body tag". (Drivers side on top.) On there will be the model info, in the form of a number. The series and model and sequence number. XXYY- xxxx or XXYY-5-xxxx.
You can look that up on this site in the model info. Packards go by series not necessarily year.
It's a "club sedan" for sure, but which "year" is still at ?. They sold left over '49s as '50s and they made new '50s.
The '49 will have a 23 in the number. A 23 series '50 a -5- in between - same interior trim. A '50 will start with 24 and is changed.
From the looks of things, the doors have been replaced or repaired as the belt line trim is missing and no holes showing. I suspect it's a deluxe "XX65" The door panel pix are below.
