Hi Mechagon
Although this 22nd Series Custom Eight isn't what you are pursuing, you should be aware of this one in Montrose, CO. westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/montrose- ... 50-packard-pair-for/7116654681.html I'm familiar with the area since I attended Western State College in Gunnison in the 1970's, still have friends in that town and family in the Buena Vista area. There was also another 22nd Series Custom Eight among a collection of older cars including a number of '50's Nash Airflytes at one time on CL near Alamosa. From the pictures, it was out in the San Luis Valley for sure. Hope you find the Custom Eight you seek, we'll all be looking for cars that might fit the bill. Steve

Another Custom listed for sale on the Packard Automobile Classis website
www.packardclub.org. Look in the Packard Classified section."1949 Early Series Custom Low mileage original rebuilt 356...." $15,500. The ad dated 4/25/2020 indicates the car is in New Mexico. Good luck

That 1948 Packard for about $9000 you sent me looks tempting. It looks like the upholstery is not correct though.

Most of the upholstery appears to be original with the Shadow Check Broadcloth on the seats. The exception is the front seat backrest which has been reupholstered with a plain fabric of some sort.

Shouldn't there be lines stitched into the door panels? I'm not sure what the correct pattern is for a Custom Though. Where might one source the original blue fabric?

Plain broadcloth fabric on the Custom 8 door panels between the upper woodgrain insert and the lower vinyl with the square stitched pattern & plated rivets.
Bill Hirsch used to reproduce the Shadow Check material but my understanding is that it is no longer available. They probably still have the plain broadcloth.

Good to know. If I pull the trigger I'll probably live with the seat back as is until the car is fully sorted otherwise. I notice the video in the ad calls it a Super Deluxe,I'll contact the seller about this.

Hi
If you can live with the 327 engine and the Super interior, a 23rd Series '49-'50 Super Deluxe would be quite a satisfactory model to own as well. The maroon '49 Custom Eight in New Mexico appears to be a nicely-preserved mostly original car. Steve
