High Bid: $ 11,000

This very original and loved 1955 Packard Patrician has just had a smart refresh of paint and chrome stripes and jewelry and shows proudly in its original trim code colors of White Jade and Agate and a Topaz Interior thats incredibly fresh and still has sparkling lurex threads in a cabin designed by Dorothy Draper. Additionally, the Packard has the deluxe rear air conditioning unit which makes it even more rare and desirable. Decades of documentation, and all original keys and manuals accompany the car which also comes with a trove of spare parts that were stored as back up from its long term (48 years) prior owner. The car drives and shows with great confidence and has had the heavy lifting of carb , added electric fuel pump, new brakes and shocks to support the torsion level ride system and some other deferred maintenance have been performed. Drive as is or take to the next level as this is a great candidate for a true classic restoration. It features, AC, Power Antenna, Power Seat, Power Windows, Radio, Dual Heaters, Easamatic Power Brakes, Ultramatic Dual Range Automatic Transmission, Dual Mirrors and working exterior courtesy lights. So many gorgeous details throughout. Currently the fuel sender has been replaced but the fuel gauge on dash needs to be swapped and an NOS gauge is included in the sale along with all of the spare parts and historical documents.
