What a car to drive. This car drives great. When I got it the previous owner informed me that it had a rebuilt engine and new transmission. New exhaust, Brakes with new Power booster, New radiator, New Tires, Shocks and Interior. New modern A.C. Every time I drive this car, I am asked what it that car. Most have never heard of Packard. Back in 1955 this Packard cost more than a Cadi. Drives like a dream, floats like a boat in the water. If you have any questions please call and I will try to answer any and all questions.

It almost looks like it has air shocks in the rear. I remembered reading something about Packards and a self leveling system.

The 1955 Packard Clipper Custom Constellation hardtop had "Torsion-Level" suspension as standard equipment.  It's possible to set the leveler bar set to have the rear up like this somewhat customized Clipper.

The car appears to have been mildly customized.

That is not the correct grille;  the headlights look 

different;  and the upholstery may not be authentic.

 

I do like the color combination, however.

vacuum wipers!

That color combination is the cat's pajamas IMO.

That color combo is from DeSoto, not Packard.  I suspect the odd stance indicates a problem with the Torsion-Level suspension. Vacuum wipers are correct, I believe.  Why do people paint air cleaners body color?
