modell ◊ 2006-12-06 01:14	Huh? It is already a Packard...
fintail ◊ 2006-12-06 05:28	1948?
archi87 ◊ 2006-12-06 09:43	No, 1950. I think it's at least a Super Eight, as it seems to have the "Goddess of Speed" mascot on th hood. -- Last edit: 2006-12-06 17:31:23
pilou ◊ 2006-12-06 10:37	Packard Super Eight Four door sedan 1949-1950 ( 23rd series model 2302)
archi87 ◊ 2006-12-06 16:47	It's always difficult to say the year of a model with Packard, with the models changing mid-year.
antp ◊ 2006-12-06 16:53	Isn't that normal for model-years that most of US cars use?
archi87 ◊ 2006-12-06 17:13	I may be wrong, but what I mean is that, for Packard, if you take this car, if produced between June and December 1949, it's considered as a 1949 model. If produced between January and August 1950, it's a 1950 model. But it is the same car.
antp ◊ 2006-12-06 17:21	Following the model-year thing both would be 1950 model, but maybe that for Packard it was different, I have no idea about that.
archi87 ◊ 2006-12-06 17:31	Frankly, I don't know.

As I understand it Packards series went on for longer periods (exceding 12 months)the years after WWII. 1945-50. This pattern is recognized from most manufacturerers of that time, production of slightly updated pre-war models went on for years with small or no changes until the "all-new" models were ready. Mostly around 1949-50. Packard seems to have given modeyears to the cars as usual except for the 22nd and 23rd series, presumably it´s connected with the companys Golden Anniversary in 1949. They had to make an update at that point, but the redesigned models were not ready until a year later as 1951 models.
