Answer
Hi Dennis,

You don't see a lot of Packard's trade so value is not a firm value, it's just based on the few that are seen trading, I ran into this also on a Gable that I almost bought but didn't. The value for yours completely restored, as new and retail looks to be around $5,500.00 in 2008, and refurbished and retail value of $3,200.00. After that we get to an average knocked up working box with a wholesale value a dealer might offer you which is $900.00. That is all the information I as as to value right now without finding some same models as yours trading out there to find current value. I hope this helps you some, there is not a true value blue book, only trend and guide values to give us some idea of what it could bring in perfect waters, but as you know things are not good right now and everything is dropping to some degree as fun money goes away. This information is for the 1947 Packard PLA-MOR.
