Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

i am pretty sure by looking at the packard model info page on this site that this is a base model 49 w/ nothing special.

so what would you expect to pay. this one is offered at 2000. alittle much if you ask me. i would offer no more than 500 bucks.

it runs and drives, need master cylinder as it only stops with the E-Brake.

later,

Hank

It may be a 1949, or it may be a 1950, only thing for sure is that it's a 23rd series. Only the vehicle numbers can differentiate.

seller says 1949....but who knows..

I think I seen that over on the hamb for sale. Looks pretty solid.

49

You can check the number, but it is a late 23rd series-Spring of 1950 or later. It has the the 24th series "dog dish" hub caps. They are 1 piece stampings, as opposed to the earlier brass skins over a steel back. The wheels are different too. The earlier wheels have clips riveted on. "The later wheels have ears stamped into them, and the hubcap is forced over them as the cap diameter is too small.

I had a 24th series before my 23rd series, which built in the fall of 49. My car is one of the ones renumbered and sold in 1950. is I noticed this at the Centennial when I saw 23rd series with 24th series hubcaps. Some of the later 23rd series cars also revert back to the square pedal pads. It's late, I'm going to bed, and i can;t make out if the brake pedal is square or oval in your pictures.

These, and a few other changes, were made around March of 1950, though maybe not at the same time

of course the best negotiating technique is to stand there and pretend not to hear when he refuses your offer. When you don't react, they meet your price in about a minute or two. I've bought stuff I didn't really want that much this way..
