Commander 57 ◊ 2014-10-15 17:05	Subject car is a 22nd Series (1948-early 1949) Super Eight Deluxe extended wheelbase model. Note it lacks the Custom Eight's eggcrate grille but the belt chrome runs all the way to the lower windshield moulding, a feature not found on the Standard or Deluxe Eights. Here is a brochure link: Link to "www.oldcarbrochures.com" (Note the subject car is carrying the optional cormorant hood ornament standard on the Custom Eight.) -- Last edit: 2014-10-15 17:19:29
DidierF ◊ 2014-10-15 17:21	Shall we tag it 'limousine', sir?
Commander 57 ◊ 2014-10-15 20:44	Well, Packard built both 7 passenger and limo versions. Can't tell from photo. Suggest we leave it as sedan.
