Some of these ads, man...
"Low mile clean title 1955 Packard Clipper Deluxe." 87k miles is "low"??
"Full complete V8 drive train automatic hydro trans still intact." No pictures of this but 16 of the rest of the car.
"Original Rochester carb." These used a Carter carb.
"Car has tons of chrome in great shape." Majority is peeling or pitted (as we all know is common) but no one would say it's in great shape. Front bumper is OK.
"Does have rust so this is a project for sure." For context the entire driver door sill area is... gone.
I get why people write up their cars like this but it does give me a bit of a laugh sometimes. Sometimes it's better to just be brief and let people have some curiosity than to hype something up for what it isn't, you know? For example, on mine (which was of similar if not worse condition) the ad just said "V8, does not run". Can't get much more accurate than that. 😄
