Rare NOS brand new Clipper Ship's Wheel horn button - cost me 80 bucks!NOS Temperature gauge assembly . not installedNew replacement Cathedral tail light lens OEM not repro
Heres the kicker. other than the fact that its a rust-free California survivor
THIS CAR IS NON TORSION RIDE - NON AUTOMATIC !
Thats right. Conventional Suspension and Conventional Transmission. no Problematic Automaticand no nightmare torsion ride. just the coveted and highly prized three speed manual overdrive. leaf springs and new Monroe shocks. It propels the car forward from a standing stop quite nicely! Shes no drag racer. but. this car can and will exceed 100 mph from a standing stop in under 30 seconds. It could be raced at Bonneville. but it would be wrong to expose it to salt. the underside is corrosion free.
Early in 1956. all Packards had Torsion Suspension and Automatic as standard equipment. so this is one rare bird indeed !
R11 Overdrive - You can see the Kickdown Switch in the photo (behind the drivers side valve cover) and the Overdrive Relay on the firewall. There is also an electrical toggle switch under the dash .
Paint has patina. original color was Turquoise !! See photos you can see the original paint on the firewall which is actually Holland Blue.
One final thing. the original AM radio works great. picks up distant stations and is loud and clear. once the tubes warm up!!
What the experts are saying about this car :
" this has to be the rarest 56 Packard of them all. "
