Joe Cocuzza Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Nice car. Not much to knock. But, just like the Chrysler Products of this time period, especially 4-door sedans, they just don't command a ton of interest or $$$$$. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivguy Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I've had a '56 and a '57 Cadillac. These Packards are more than competitive and better styled. The question has many answers, but how could Packard fail building cars like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 14 minutes ago, Rivguy said: ...how could Packard fail building cars like this? According to Consumer Reports' annual auto issue, Packard's reliability was not up to par. Such statements about various makes and models were based on surveyed results from tens of thousands of readers. Would people flock to buy a car that wasn't as reliable? All other things being equal, no. Would its trade-in value, accordingly, be high? No. Cadillac, on the other hand, was rated very highly at that time: It was the most reliable car on the market, it was economical for its size, and it had very high trade-in value. There were other reasons for Packard's trouble, but if it had been well priced, beautifully styled, and extremely reliable, the word would get around and its sales would go up, not down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 There have been some beautiful '55 & '56 Packards listed on the forum with very becoming colors, inside and out. Nice looking interior, but the exterior is boring IMHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very clean inside and out as you can see in the pictures. Everything works on it and has no problems. It has been garage kept all its life and im the 3rd owner of it. It is all original and never been restored and has original paint. It all original and matching numbers to. It has no rust at all and like i said been garage kept all its life. A car collector had it for 30yrs before i got it. It is rare and hard to find one like this esp after Packard went out of business in 1960. I drive it all the time but never in rain. It has new Hankook tires, new battery, fresh oil change, new plugs, new wires, electric seats, hot heat, power steering, self leveling suspension, am radio, some factory books, extra parts, and more. If you have any questions about this car feel free to message me. PLEASE SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. Thank you.
