Just purchased a 1950 Custom 8 Turning Sedan 4 days ago and love it.

You have the top-of-the-line Packard. A superbly luxurious car with plenty of power as well.

I have grown to like these , but I always liked the 53,54,55 +& 56 better. A neighbor down street had bought a one owner 49 Packard factory limo, low Miles , that was when I started noticing these. In 1950, my Aunt bought a Lincoln Cosmopolitan over one of these though.

If only Packard had not kept a cut-rate model after the war they would have done much better.

[@califdad4]

@@michaelbenardo5695 would have been better off if they had never bought Studebaker

[@michaelbenardo5695]

Back in the day, we didn't care for these as far as looks. We called them Pregnant Elephants. But now, compared to all the Japanoid tin cans, they look magnificent.

Chevy wasn't the only one with a 327 engine! This Packard's engine is a 327 Packard style, and the 57 - 66 Nash and Rambler also had a 327 engine.

My Grandma car, he said he had to sell it in 1955 because Packard was going broke, he changed to a Studebaker . The same year. He called the Studebaker his bug . He bought a Studebaker 55 President! , beautiful car.

[@joemackey1950]

When I was a kid, not long after this rolled off the line, I called it a "Potato Bug" because it looked like one. :)

[@michaelbenardo5695]

People called it the Pregnant Elephant!
