Re: 1956 Packard Patrician Rebuild Project

I know I have been all over the board lately but I am on overload absorbing all the Packard data and where I want to end up.
My goal is to have a small Packard collection however, the wife is stuck in the 50's and is not interested in pre-wars even though I found a few I would like.
I have a few things in the works at the moment. We are in discussions for a "Her" car. I can pick up either of the two below for 11k ea and they are 40xxx miles.
Or, I can pick up a 56 pat that had an 1980's restore and was never put back together, it is ready to go to put the engine back in. I can pick this up for $1500, my thoughts were it has the 374 which I could drop into my current project to make this project all correct. The other car is currently Black (which we dislike) and she wants "Pink" Packard. I could shoot it pink, drop in my 352 and although not technically correct, she would have a sweet ride.
I am also communicating with a guy of a 55 Caribbean, not sure of the condition he is supposed to be sending me the data and pics.
Time to start focusing.
