Nice article.
This one from MN sold recently on Ebay for almost 8K, I had excitedly looked at it about 3 years ago.
The owner is in for a long road.

Thank you for posting the photo of the Executive hardtop that had been on eBay!

Next Tuesday, we will cover the Packard Esquires.

If anyone has an Executive or an Esquire, I'd be happy to include photos of your car in the blog post.

In addition to photos, I welcome your histories of your cars.

I also appreciate your participation!

Here is today's blog post:

We have photos of the Goodwood Revival in the U.K, but for Packard enthusiasts, there is a photo of a spectacular '56 Executive coupe painted in Naples Orange/Corsican Black and fitted with the Bendix Mechanical Fuel Injection Packard would have used on the '57s. I will do a longer story on this car next Tuesday.

There is also a fun story about how "PacDoc1956" came to bring his grandmother's '56 Executive "back into the family."

I want to post other stories of reader's cars. Please PM me and we will work out the details.

Nice story, really enjoyable read!
Wish I could track down my 1955 Packard 400.
Last I knew of it was in the Philadelphia area.
If some one spots a white-black-white 55 400 for sale in the Philly area...

Happened across this stunner, it never popped up in any of my normal searches.

It is priced like a #1 car, it came from a large collection & the Paint, Chrome & Stainless are supposed to be outstanding.
If it were priced like a #2, it would be headed to SE WI.

WOW! That is one beautiful Executive!
The Caribbean twin antennae add a nice touch to these Executive hardtops.

I hope you can find it!
