Hi, Does anyone know history of the 48 Packard super 8 maroon fastback on e-bay? Previously listed with a buy it now of $22000. Old restoration and supposedly from California. I noticed the following incorrect/issues with car.

-Side trim incorrect--from a 1950
-incorrect seat and door panel upholstery (Packard didnt use corduroy)
-data plate missing
-heater not connected
-missing air cleaner brace
-steering wheel missing parts/cracked


Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I can't tell from the photo if that's (incorrect) Bedford Cord or close to correct striped broadcloth.

The paint seems way too metallic, but hard to tell in the photo. The Metallics were very fine

but an attractive car
