We list them as 1949 models here unless we have proof that the subject car in question was built late enough in the extended model year to qualify as a 1950 model. Packard did not designate their cars at this time as "1949" or "1950" models and called them all "Twenty-Third Series" models. If we can get a good rear shot we can tell if it is a Super Deluxe Eight or a Custom Eight. (The eggcrate grille was used only on the 22nd series Custom Eights but on the 23rd series, it was extended to the Super Deluxe Eight as well.)
