Re: "G" numbers

If you’re looking at the Factory Parts List, the part name is far longer than it was in the original printed book because it is a blend of both the group name and the part name. On my Packard / IMPERIAL page which uses the same data (1948-1954 only), those are shown separately and in a simulation of the printed book but here, the database has fewer columns so for it to make some sense, it was necessary to merge a couple fields which did indeed make them quite long.

I can’t speak for the G parts with any certainty but I seem to recall in going through the data while proofing it that those items were hardware that had the same part numbers for many years back so it would be my guess that it was a leftover from an earlier numbering system.
