1955 Packard Patrician VIN 55826681 4 Door Sedan Colour: Two Tone Black/White Interior: Grey and Black woven V8: 352 CuIn 260 HP Automatic Power Steering Power Brakes Dual Exhaust This excellent Touring vehicle underwent a frame off restoration in 1990 (documentation photos available for review). The chassis was completely cleaned and painted black semi-gloss. The re chromed bumpers and the body retain an excellent finish to this date. The interior is in very good to excellent condition, reupholstered with an original pattern but not the original material. The dash and gauges are very good. The engine runs strong, clean and smooth and the transmission feels to be in very good working order. Brakes and steering are very good. It is an excellent driving vehicle. It sits on proper 8.20-15 bias ply wide whites. The load leveling suspension is not working. I believe this is due to the paint applied during the restoration, but cannot be sure without access to a lift and someone more knowledgeable of the system than I. In 1955 the Patrician was an industry leading classic luxury automobile with style and performance, and it still is.
