How about the wooden block the was part of the engine seal?

Mal, it's cool if you don't want to talk about thingie.

These pedal pads were used as early as the 7th Series. I don't know if this was the first year for them. Photo taken by the writer.

light bulbs

I will guess safety glass.

Good comments all. But I was thinking more of a part that had the same Packard part number thru the longest # of years and not just a simple piece of common hardware like a fastener or the like.

I've got one in mind that spanned 21 years which I believe is two years longer than the rectangular pedal pad which was my earlier candidate.

Backup light?

Thanks for the thought West, but come on now, I know you can do better. Backup light part numbers changed every few years. We're thinking a single Packard part number that was used continuously for the longest span of years.

Water neck gasket!

Hey Kev, that's a good one and one that hadn't occurred to me to consider. Time to check some parts books and see if it's in the running.

UPDATE: Kev, seemed a great idea until the parts books opened. The longest-running I've found is the one for the 356 engine at 11 years (or 10 if you don't include the marine engines); the one for the 282/327/359 at 6 years; the V8 one at 2 years. But the one for the 245 six might be a candidate as the six ran from 1937 to 1950 and then some years after that as the ID-245 Packard industrial engine and then in the White truck engine. Anyone want to check that out?
