I will be documenting the rebuild of my Patrician. This is my first restore project. A little history on this car, 1956 Packard Patrician 4 door purchased a gentleman who drove it until 1967 then drove it into his heated machine factory and left them there for 45 years. It still had a 1961 wards battery in one original tires and @ 80,000 miles on this one. With gas in can and some in carb the car started right up. Took the gas tank off and had it opened up and boiled out and lined and resealed. This Packard has 374 cu in 6.1 L 310 hp original engine, Electronic Push Button Ultramic for 1956 (only Year made with this on Patrician). The body has little rust , most chrome good. It has power seats, power windows , seatbelts that were not needed in 1956 good interior, good head liner all glass good.
