kingrudy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I really love these 55, 56 Packards. Every so often you see a car like this where 95% of the interior looks fantastic and there is that one spot (drivers arm rest) that is totally trashed. What to do in this situation? I for one would not want to dump the rest of the interior, as it looks so good. Can this be repaired? Can you match this fabric? The rest of the car looks fantastic and a reasonable price too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Nice car. Arm rest not a huge deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) It does look good. I accept the idea of correct pricing as I know little about what they are really worth. As I have said before I do like 50’s Packards. And it’s not too far from me either. Thank goodness I’m broke.

Brooklyn Beer Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 That plastic seat cover brings back memories of a Long Island humid summer and Mom having to protect the first new couches we ever got from us kids nasty hands. The sound of peeling yourself off the couch when it was 90 degree's with 80% humidity just "sticks with you" 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I had a good friend in the Kiwanis that was a used car dealer. He had an affection for 50's Packards. Had a car just like this one and 4 or 5 others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those thick clear plastic covers at home and also in the new car kept the material clean, but going for a ride in the summertime, we learned to bring along a beach towel. During the frigid winter months, it was almost like sitting on a piece of plywood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
