58L-Y8 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) 1949 Packard 8 23rd Series Touring Sedan - $12700 - Lakeway, TX https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/austin-1949-packard-8-touring-sedan/7153486607.html 1949 Packard 23rd Series Touring Sedan. Restored car, rebuilt inline 8 cylinder engine. Perfectly working overdrive lets you run at reduced engine speeds. A comfortable, quiet, very nice highway cruiser. Base-coat/clearcoat paint for good sheen, low maintenance. New chrome, Coker radial www tires. A really good buy at this condition and price. Contact: Norman (512) six-5-7-four-4-six-8 Copy and paste in your email: 62f2077cc60f37b9a7b440ed610e597b@sale.craigslist.org I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1949 Packard 8 Touring Sedan. Note: 23rd Series Packards comprise both 1949 and 1950 model years, are essentially continuations of the 22nd Series, the 23rd Series is easily identified by the mid-level side trim and oval taillights. Packard clubs, parts and technical advice and on-line support is excellent should you decide to become 'the man who owns one'.

Pilgrim65 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Smart car and very realistic price , would be coming to look if circumstances were different . but sure wont be available long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Despite the fact that they were not well received style wise when new, these are now artifacts of a different age. In that since they’re not completely unattractive. Compare this to the 2 tone green Pontiac recently on here. There is just a lot of value in the old car hobby right now. You just need to pick 1-3 cars and enjoy the hobby. I got out in December but it’s tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same error message when I click to reveal the phone number in the Craig's List ad. Do others? What causes that--do I need an updated operating system, or is it CL's problem?

58L-Y8 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Happens to me about half the time, if someone has the answer how to fix this, I'd like to know too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozstatman Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Could well be a '50 from the side trim and taillights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Oz, not sure what you're saying. It's a 23rd series car , May 49-50. Is there any distinction between those registered as 49 vs 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Thanks Neil, I'll put it in the listing. A 1950 23rd Series would have a -5- in serial number, but those could be either renumbered 1949 leftovers or actual 1950 production Edited July 12, 2020 by 58L-Y8 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 right, but in terms of trim and equipment I think there is no distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Having owned and driven a 22nd series Packard I can certainly attest to the quality and drivability of these automobiles. Having sold mine last year I find I do really miss it...... Edited July 12, 2020 by Jeff Perkins / Mn (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteO Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I wonder if the sale of this Packard comes with the screwdriver that stuck in the top of the trunk lining. Including an air filter on the carburetor would probably be a good idea. Apart from these observations, I'd love to have it but for the room to keep it.
