When purchased by the current owner in 1994, the vehicle had 26,800 miles on the odometer. The current mileage is 39,000. This car is all original except for a repaint in the 1970's. The only structural wood is the tailgate, the rest is ash frames with painted 'mahogany' panels bolted over the sheet metal.

3,864 Packard Station Sedans built from 1948-1950.

The Packard Eight Series in 1949 was powered by an eight-cylinder L-head engine that had a cast iron block and solid valve lifters. The total horsepower output was 130 which was sent to the power to the rear wheels. The Four-door sedan with seating for six cost $2250, the two-door club sedan cost $2225, and the Station Sedan was a staggering $3450.

The Series Eight and the Deluxe Eight for 1949 was known as the Series 23 (2301). In many respects, they were very similar, visually, to the prior years model. There were several noticeable differences such as the front bumper having chromed centers rather than the painted versions. Another new chrome addition was the thin spear that ran along the middle of the body sides.
