I looked, but I’ll look again. Maybe I missed it.

I have. 1949 custom, 2252. Will the headlights, assemblies and beauty rings from 1948-1954 models fit my car?

Thanks for the information. I'll be running down the issue this weekend. I appreciate the help

I’m just trying to learn my way around this car. It looks to me like a previous owner has gone through and done some rewiring and I think he did it wrong. I’ve wired the tail lights, back up light and brake lights as per the electrical diagrams. But I ran into something odd. The brake lights have constant power now even when the key is off. And nothing else works. I’m fixing to trace the wiring harness from the trunk back through the car to see what else might be wrong. So any pictures you think might be helpful I’ll definitely look at.
Just trying to figure this out. And have I said I love old cars. Lol

Hi Dave O
I would love to see the pictures of the rearend rewiring you did. I"m currently working on that myself. I"ve been studying the wireing diagrams, but pictures would help.

I'm a new Packard owner.
I've never been exposed to how Packard used to do things. I've looked for videos to help me with by restoration and build. But I havent been able to find much. So I decided to start my own YouTube channel. I'm going to post everything I do the my car. Hopefully, it will be helpful to anyone that is working on their car too.

A little about my self and my car. I used to own a 57 Chevrolet that I bought in 82 from the original owner. It fell into disrepair (my fault) and I sold it a few years ago. I thought the "old car" bug had left me. That is until I found this car. I love it.
She is a 1949 22nd Series Custome Touring Sedan, with a 356 straight 8. The car has 26,000 original miles and is currently drivable. She still needs some TLC.
When I bought it it was full of chrome and parts. Right now I'm trying to figure out where everything goes. I plan on fixing her up, but she wont be a trailer baby. I plan on driving her. It's my intention to say very close to original, but I will deviate to modern parts when it comes to safety.

The name of my channel is "This Packard Life" You can search for the name or try the link below. Then like and subscribe to get videos when they are posted. Tell me what you think. Tell me what I do right and where I'm wrong. This is a learning experience and I welcome everyone. Just remeber, I'm just a guy with an old car, not a videographer.

Interesting. I have CE after my engine number. I've been trying to figure out what that meant. Mystery solved.
