It's about my age

Went to visit a friend who lives in a retirement community and drove past this puppy. Bonus points if you can identify the car without looking at the name on the front of the hood.
Mr wtg knew the manufacturer and model year, but not the model name. He's got an amazing memory when it comes to vintage cars

Packard. Hood ornament gave it away.
-
OK Mr SmartyPants...how about model and/or year?
-
LOVE it!!
-
Mid 50s. Model is Yellow.
-
Such a pretty color.
-
I think it’s a Packard 250. 1950-52?
-
I think you’re right about it being early 50s.

I think @Steve-Miller got it.
From pics that I found, I think it's a 1952 Packard 250. From what I could see, the grille is the distinguishing feature when it comes to figuring out which year it is. The 51 has vertical elements in the center of the grille that the 52 doesn't.

I thought so, too! It's a happy color and it made me smile when I saw it.
