I have no personal stake or interest in the eventual sale of this 1949 Packard Standard Eight sedan.   Parenthetically, I will note that clubs, regions, parts and on-line help support for Packards is among the best for any orphan nameplate.

Looks dandy for that money.

The seller notes it needs the rocker panels replaced and that he has a set, though in general looks like a Packard one could enjoy now for a reasonable price and work on later.

The parts alone are worth much more than the $5,500 asking price. Not sure however if this is deemed a "rare" model. They made about 13,000 units I think. How many are still around?

Not rare at all, 1948-'49 22nd Series Eights and Eight Deluxes were their highest production postwar models, not hard to find in decent shape like this car..  They're rugged, virtually bulletproof mechanically, the four door sedans the most plentiful.  The Standard Eight has the 288 cu in eight, if this car has overdrive, it makes them more flexible and enjoyable to drive.
