Dan's 55 Patrician

This will be the start of my project blog. I've recently purchased a 1955 Packard Patrician which needs a restore.

Paint: V - Onyx
Trim: 62

The car seems to be a good base with which to work. The engine has not started in 10 years so my first goal is to round up supplies to work to turn it over. new plugs, mystery oil, filters, oil etc.

I believe the car originated in Chicago as it has a Chicago Motor club(AAA) sticker on the back window. I know it's been in Phoenix AZ since at least 1991 but am trying to trace it back from there. No bad rust areas and looks like it got some work at a point in the past.

Thanks for reading along and any tips on starting up the dormant engine please let me know.
