The overdrive 3 speed on the column transmission works perfectly, theoverdrive feature is awesome and keeps up with high speed traffic with ease. This car has radial tires which makes a smooth comfortable ride. It gets more looks and thumbs up than the Ferrari I had. It stands out and is absolutely beautiful on the road and close up. Lots of chrome. Power hydraulic windows, and roof. Cool feature, press the gas pedal to the floor and it starts the car. Hasvacuum powerantenna which I haven't had time to fix. Radio doesn't work.

Can helporganize shipping anywhere or pick up.Note from eBayer that clarified this car's numbers:

In 1948-49-50, Packard only made two series, 22nd and 23rd. 1949 was half 22nd and half 23rd. 1949 22nd series cars were noted in the serial number with an additional 9 inserted in the middle of the serial number. Your car's serial number, 2279-9-10199, shows that it was a 1948 style 22nd series, but was manufactured in 1949. Stylistically, it is a 48, but it is actually a 1949. The G prefix was used on all 22nd series engines, regardless of year of manufacture. That is a really nice one, and I hope you do well on your auction Take care,
