@Chief tin cloud: @Buch-t: This car is not a 300. A 300 had a wrap-around back window. Is this a 200 with a fancy grill? In anticipation, regards, Eddaido (talk) 10:01, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are right with the 300. I should have seen the different back window treatment. It has to be a 200. Still looking for information about the senior grille and side trim on a 200...--Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:07, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Eddaido: @Buch-t: No, I got it straight. The car is indeed a stock 25th series (1952) 200 Deluxe. Standard models looked quite similar to the 24th series, but Deluxes got the senior grille and three trim items on each rear fender, similar to the 250. By the way: 1951 250s have four elements, 1952 three. Information found in Nat Dawes' comprehensive book "Packard - the Postwar Years".--Chief tin cloud (talk) 19:15, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
