firebird86 ◊ 2006-02-17 06:20	Sorry, you are correct, 47 was a typo, the grill molding on the 48 is correct, the grill on a 50 has vertical ribs, whereas the 48 is an egg crate type. see link, cursor down half way to 1948 Packard superclipper convertible. http://www.imperialclub.com/IML-specific/Spotlight/Nov02/ -- Last edit: 2006-02-17 06:24:13
