HISTORY. for 1955. the entire senior Packard model range received a very deftly executed update by the talented Richard A. Teague.   Famed "Cathedral" tail-lamps. a modernized front grille. new exterior trim. and "wrap around" windshield all headlined the changes.

The dashboard layout was arguably the most beautiful of any 1955 car. with a gold and silver jewel-like appearance that is just as eye-catching in 2014 as it was in its debut 60 years ago.

BACKGROUND ON THIS CAR. owned by a fellow collector and friend who is a highly successful business owner by day and master mechanic hobbyist on evenings and weekends!  Not wishing to disturb the car's originality. his #1 priority was to make the Packard a nice driving car.

The new owner can make the decision whether to leave the car in its impressively original condition. or whether to undertake a more extensive cosmetic-focused restoration.

DRIVE REPORT:  I drove this car during the photography session for this listing and found it to be a very nice boulevard cruiser. motor was smooth.   Though I had no difficulty with braking. my friend (owner) feels that the new owner should know that the brake booster may need rebuilding.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL. there will. of course. never be any more Packards!  Enthusiasm for the iconic American luxury car producer is amazingly strong and some of the finest books published for car enthusiasts have been Packard books. such as Beverly Rae Kimes' "Packard: The Pride". quite likely the most exhaustively complete history ever written on ANY marque!  It takes a special car line to inspire such devotion. and Packard values have endured very well over the past six+ decades since the last examples rolled off the assembly lines.

Many desirable cars of the 1950s are already well into six-digits (e. g. a 1954 Buick Skylark owner recently was asking $180. 00 for his car). As cars such as the Skylark. Eldorado. Bel Airs. etc. move into the stratosphere. cars such as this elegant Patrician will be "pulled up" as well.

PAYMENT DETAILS: Payment is due within 5 days of auction's end via Bank to Bank Wire Transfer. Vehicle will be released to the new owner immediately upon full clearance of payment to seller's Bank.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome. but MUST adhere to the Payment Details above and also make all arrangements for pick-up and importation of the vehicle into the Buyer's country. We will store the car free of charge for a reasonable period of time while transportation is arranged for the car.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of sales and marketing in a Global 100 company. I formed Murphy Endeavors. LLC and began buying and selling classic cars as a collector and for friends and clients. This 1955 Packard Patrician belongs to a friend and fellow Classic Car enthusiast. Please note  that I have had 2. 85 eBay transactions with 100% Positive Feedback and have sold classic cars to happy eBay customers in Sweden. Switzerland. France. Australia. Russia. Canada. Japan. and throughout the United States.

IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE. the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and the Georgia-issued (clear) Registration document.

Georgia did not begin issuing auto Titles until 1962. therefore. NO pre-1962 automobile has a Georgia Title.   All states must respect each state's Motor Vehicle laws. so this car can be registered in any state.  

As a used car. this vehicle is sold strictly on an as-is. as-shown. and final basis with no warranties expressed or implied.
