Replacing the bulbous 1948-1950 Packards in the 22nd and 23rd Packard Series. Reinhart's "High Pockets" design was more formal than its predecessor. and would serve Packard until the end of the 1956 model year when true Packard production ceased. All Packard 200 models came with twin horns. two sun visors. front and rear bumper guards. spare tire and jack set. Deluxe trim level included the appointments found on the standard models. and added chrome wheel rings. and turn indications as standard. White-wall tires and full-wheel covers were also extra. Items which have since become standard to the auto industry since the late 1960s such as heater. radio. tinted glass. carpeting. etc. . were all optional on the Packard. as well as other premium cars during that era. Packard also became the first car-maker to offer power-brakes in 1951. “Easamatic” as they were trademarked. were a product of Bendix and an exclusive to Packard.
