Re: Is it just me, or are there a fair number of '57-'58 Packards out there?

I know of one 1957 Packard that was purchased new with a 1950 Packard for a trade which he received $800 against the new 1957 Clipper $4353.38 price. This car was sold about 3 miles from the dealer where it was kept by the first owner and his wife.
When the Husband died the widow had a young man up the street drive her around in the car when she died in 1987 he got the car.
When the fellow died his father kept the car in his garage for two years father put it up for sale two that is when I came into the picture being the third owner of a 1957 Packard with 30000 miles and only a small amount of rust on a Pittsburgh car which is in it self hard to believe. It has been my dream since 1957 to own a black 57 Packard. Now to get it back to the way I remember them when new .
