Welcome to Packard ownership! The 1956 Packard Executive was one of the nicest looking Packards of the era (in my opinion) and since you're new to it, here is a very small history.

The Executive was Packard's last new model which arrived late in 1956 production. It was based on, and replaced, the 1956 Clipper Custom which for 1956 was a separate make and was offered as both a 4-door sedan and a 2-door hardtop. It was rebadged as Packard with different side trim and the Packard grille and front fenders with hooded headlights. I'm not sure but I believe it also received a more upscale interior.
