"The last Packard Detroit car was a Patrician, VN #5682-4775. It apparently has not survived."

Thank you for that - this is the VIN I remembered, but I wasn't confident of it and didn't want to post it incorrectly. I keep hoping that car will turn up, but I fear you are correct that it has not survived.

My 56772010A was shipped June 26, 1956,the last day, any way of knowing when this rolled off the line?

...any way of knowing when this rolled off the line?

No way that I'm aware of.

Fuel injection, like the supercharger, was invented back in the teens. I don't know why it wasn't adopted earlier, but suspect it wasn't perfected to the level of the carburetor and the price of fuel kept it from adding value. The GM 50's fuelie units didn't help the image. At the same time, they tweaked carb design about every year until the use fell off.
Turbocharging was another invention that should have been in common use, based on efficiency, HP gains, etc. It was in use only in heavy engines. We wouldn't have had all the gas consumption that we had(aka oil addiction), if it had been adopted earlier, now today's "eco boost". But the stories go, the oil guys were in cahoots with the detroit boys - scratching each others back. Back in the day, there were always stories/rumors about a patent or patent holder for mileage improvement being "bought out" by GM. Packard may have also fell to some Big 3 "tactics", like Tucker, etc. But that's like the Yeti and UFOs, more mythology than proof.

As of the end of business on Thursday, June 21, 1956, the Conner Plant had built 1,021 1956 Executive 2-door hardtops. As a total of 1,031 were finally built, the last 10 were built during the next two days, Friday the 22nd and Monday the 25th (the last day of production), although it is not known if all 10 were built on Friday, on Monday or were split between the two days.

This information was taken from the form "1956 Model Balance Out Schedule Status As Of Close Of Business 6-21-56", which was obtained from one of the authors of the AQ "Packard - A History..." book.

So - #5677-2010A (the 1,010th 5677 built) should have been built during the June 18-21 period.

see this forum topic which shows the build sheet of the last 1956 Packard manufactured, sold in Guntersville, Alabama

As I live in Guntersville, Alabama I will recheck the three 56's that are for sale out of a private outdoor lot to make sure it is not one of them. He wants 500-750 for each and it would be a shame if it gets crushed. If it's there it should be in the Packard museum.............

Thanks for the info.
