VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | This car was removed from a flooded creek bed in Iowa. It was to be sent to the crusher, but I purchased it and brought it home. At that time I owned four 48-49 fourdoor sedans. After I got it cleaned u I noticed the longer hood and fenders. The trim was received months after getting the car home. I thought it was a custom 8 because of the grille and long front. The car is nowundergoing a extensive modification process (sorry guys). The stock parts from this car has helped kee my other 5 Packards on the road. My restorer has posted pictures in the modification forum under " restore or ...." Check it out. | ||||
