1956 Packard Patrician Sedan
The 1956 Packard is one of the most beautiful and elegant cars of the mid 1950s. It is also the very last year that these elegant cars would be manufactured/engineered by the Packard Plant in Michigan. This car is beautifully styled and very well engineered for its time. Everywhere you look there is something nice to look at...beautiful colors, trim, lines, hood ornament - it's quite a work a art! It can also handle today's modern roads and speeds, thanks to the power of the 374ci V8 engine and the Ultra-Matic Transmission, which was the most modern automatic transmission of its day.
This Packard was owned by a fellow enthusiast for many years before my parents acquired it. It is a very nice lower mileage original survivor type that has not been totally restored. It was serviced, repaired as needed, at some point re-painted, kept indoors, and lovingly cared for. This car will be a treasure for your family to own for years to come and a great long term investment too. Only 3,375 of these were ever made! Very rare car to see around today.

The original engine runs great and has very good power for a car of this year. The transmission shifts and operates well. It has a working speedometer, volt gauge, temperature gauge, headlights, directional signals and rear running lights. The car runs and starts exceptionally well, and with the PS and PB, it will be very easy for anyone to drive. The Ultra-Matic Transmission has an early type of overdrive in the form of a lock up.
