4,400 miles? The brake pedal says no.

...The rubber floor mat is interesting. I know some have the rubber mats but I thought they were full front including over the hump and sort of a gravel pattern. I'm thinking that one is aftermarket but maybe not. If it is Packard maybe someone can say and the photo can be saved for those who have asked to see a good photo of the pattern.


I wonder if that's the Deluxe Eight version with the carpet inserts?

has to be a typo, bet he forgot a 0 and means 44,000.

The front floor mat in my '52 looked just like that pattern, so it could be original. Mine covered the full front though as Howard remembers, from the seat forward and all the way across.

On the 52 Patrician, I agree that is a good buy on a striking car. What does S mean in the Paint code section?

That color looks a bit optimistic for a conservative Patrician. I could be wrong.

I would love to own the 53 LWB car but I don't have a spare $125,000 to spend on a $15,000 car. That car will never be restored unfortunately.

It looks like it has been there for years and it really makes me wonder what the back story is. I wonder if it was a known car that some stubborn fellow refused to sell and then vandalism or weather took out the glass.

I restore the car, and the car restores me.

Paint code "S" = Turquoise Blue Light.

Hi Bryan

I believe that '52 models in turquoise are correct, I've seen a couple of '51-'52 models in junkyards years ago in that color. Packard also offered it in the 23rd Series.

Of LWB models, whatever the make, once they hit the used car market: it was almost always a hard, workhorse life as a livery car. Here, one fellow who ran a small taxi company always had an older Cadillac 75 or two in service. He got his use out of them, they were pretty tired by the time they got parked.

To give you an idea how cheaply such Packards could be bought used, in a 1956 NADA Used Car Guide, a '53 Packard 8 passenger sedan average wholesale was $950 versus a Patrician sedan at $895. Not much more, but still enough for a car that would be hard to sell used.

Of course, by 1956, the rumors were rife, everyone knew that "Packard is going out of business".

Steve

P.S. Thanks Owen, for verifying my memory. Paint code "S" Patricians were probably rare, seems a color more popular for convertibles and Mayfair hardtops.

Here's another Al Capone car. I find it hard to believe that he would of been driving a junior Packard.

I think we discussed this 1926 Holbrook convertible on a 1929 Packard Chassis with a Rolce Royce Grill here before but she popped up on CL again:
