Found an old 49 Packard title

My brother was renovating some of my dad's old furniture and found a temporary Washington title (pink slip) stuck in the back of a drawer. The title is for a 49 Packard that my dad purchased in 1956 at Tex Brotherton's in Walla Walla, WA. If I remember correctly, it had a 3-speed with OD. Dad sold it to a car collector type guy about 1961. Dad had quit driving the car because the rear end was making noise but I drove it around the neighborhood anyway. The car ran real strong and was in great condition. The serial number on the title is 2262-952684. The engine number is listed as G285310CE. I checked the information pages on this website and it appears that 2262-9-52684 would be a correct serial number but the engine number is listed as a 1948 engine number. What does the CE on the end of the engine number mean?

I wonder if this car is still out there somewhere.

I've always liked Packards but don't own one right now.

With the 48 engine number but the -9- in the ID, it was likely an unsold or leftover 48 that was factory renumbered to be sold as a 49 model. It was probably a late 48 though because the CE on the engine number means the engine had some running changes from original specs or early production. In this case, C is second or later design piston and rings and E is second design camshaft and a larger oil pan.

Cliff, welcome to PackardInfo.com!

Howard (HH56) provided you with a perfect background. The owner registry could be a suitable starting point for a trip through your family history.
You will find --> there a couple of 2262 Deluxe Eight Touring Sedan. Good luck!
