I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1949 Packard Eight Deluxe 23rd Series sedan.  Note: Interested parties should note the Packard is manual shift though listed as automatic.  When investigating, determining if it has overdrive would be a good idea.  Overdrive makes these a nicely-mannered distance driver.

It's very cool. and close to me. But I am not interested.  Overpriced.  In the side angle, you see the Pregnant Elephant.  I would opt for any number of better executed period cars, like the 49 New Yorker club coupe I posted, or step down Hudsons, or kaiser- Frazers.

It's not a Cadillac or Lincoln style-wise, but at a fraction of what's asked for those cars, you get a big, comfortable, well-built driver. This is the golden era for newbies.

I had a ‘48 and loved it, solid as a rock and smooth as silk. I still have seller’s remorse.......
