The first single-cylinder Packard was built in 1899 by James and William Packard in Warren, Ohio. Their Winton had broken down and an unsympathetic salesman challenged the brothers 'to build a better car.'
The Golden Anniversary/23rd Series was introduced in May 1949 and continued through 1950, which included the Standard and Deluxe series. Both trim levels included a 'Goddess of Speed' hood mascot and a Packard nameplate placed between the speedometer and clock opening.
Other features of the 23rd Series included a thin chrome spear, Packard block lettering, black-lighted instruments, hydraulic valve lifters, and the 'bathtub-style' body. The station sedan model was the most expensive of the line-up with a factory price of nearly $3,500, nearly $1,200 more than a club sedan.
