Thanks!
The Packard is lovely, what a perfect '40s color (that and maroon IMO). I had forgotten the previous thread, thanks for the link, it's a wonderful kitchen. Anyone in the early '50s with a Kenmore frogeye dryer, a nice Frigidaire range and a Packard in the driveway was living pretty damned well! Today few people recall when the quality of better American products was second to none.

I somehow get the feeling that even if '49 Packards had cupholders, people wouldn't be encouraged to use them in that interior.

Wonderful spread in the paper, looks like they did a great job.
Your home (and that amazing Packard) are so fun and the meticulous attention to detail shows.

Is this straight 8 engine
a 288, 327 or 356? Some had 9 bearing, some had 5. Regardless, all were excellent, smooth and durable. Just a former Packard Parrician and Clipper owner asking here.
