It's not a '51, though, because of the lack of hood lettering. Believe I will relist simply as "1952 Packard" pending more info/photos. -- Last edit: 2018-05-16 03:20:33

Commander 57 ◊ 2018-05-16 14:48	Thanks for that link. This Packard clearly has the '51/'52 windshield contour but has been fitted with a '54 front. The side trim is 1951 to 1953 style and it carries a 1952-1954 senior hood ornament. The car is a mongrel. Since it has no hood lettering but has the older windshield, I feel it should be listed as a 1952 200 in both places. While someone might substitute a grille, no one would change out the roof. It's possible this is a 1952 300. Wish we had a better view of the rear area. I am changing both listings to 1952 200 for now. -- Last edit: 2018-05-24 03:26:24
Commander 57 ◊ 2018-05-16 22:30	Thanks to 3loader and this link: /vehicle.php?id=1143169 which is believed to be the same car, we can now difinitively identify it as a 1952 Packard 300. The link shows the senior style rear window design. For some reason, a 1954 Clipper front has been grafted on. -- Last edit: 2018-05-16 22:31:32
