Very few decals have survived the passage of time. Edit, not quick enough on the keyboard, beaten to it by O_D, should have known. Do I have egg on my face, again? Sure do! Posted on: 2013/9/15 17:48

Mal, I made the same mistake but caught it just before I posted. The series number didn't become part of the body number until 1947. For example, your '41 120 has a plate number starting with 14xx instead of 19xx. Posted on: 2013/9/15 18:15

Looks like another painful Packard lesson learned. Posted on: 2013/9/15 18:17
