Commander 57 ◊ 2021-06-14 22:28	True. The '48-'50 are quite distinctive cars. I just prefer the sharper, more formal lines of the '51 + series.
Gongora ◊ 2021-06-15 00:04	I also prefer the 1951 design. The 1948-1950 Packards looked like stranded seals, with those fat and baroque lines ... The 1951 design was incredibly harmonious, being sober and modern.
Commander 57 ◊ 2021-06-15 03:17	The Packard from the '48-'50 time frame does hold up quite well against the other three similarly styled period cars, the Nash, Lincoln and Hudson. I would rank the Hudson #1, the Packard #2, the Nash #3 and the Lincoln #4. (Never cared for the Lincoln's sunken headlamps.)
