Not a show car but not priced like one either. One of the fifties Packards I really like.

[JamesR]

That seems like a good price to me, too. Originality is a plus for the right collector. Another thing that impresses me is the seller's willingness to assist potential buyers...with verifying frame condition, transportation, color matching paint, etc. Other sellers asking a lot more aren't willing to do that stuff.

I've had a '56 and a '57 Cadillac, loved both of them. I think that these Packards are better looking than either.

Looks like a solid car at a fair price. I am not very familiar with these, so I have a question: does the seat upholstery look like something that would be original from 1955?

I thought this '55 Patrician looked familiar:

I encountered it one evening back in May-June when the owner was visiting local family.  The seat upholstery is original, was under plastic covers from new.  The current owner had replaced sections of the door panel upholstery with the material you see here.  If I recall correctly, this Packard had been found in Pennsylvania, that the owner had done a good amount of work to reactivate it.

Pattern looks right on the seats. Light sections of the door panels look odd. Folks on Packardinfo can say for sure.  The condition of the Ultramatic transmission and Torsion-Level suspension bear verification.  Some valve train noise is not unusual on these.
