Re: Asking the men and women who own one...

I do like Tri-5 Chevies, and if a '55 210 4-door found its way into my garage, I wouldn't be crying in my beer, but I already own a '68 Camaro and kind of want something different. Up 'til now, I've been thinking in terms of a '61-'63 Ford Falcon, but the more I read about Packard, the better I like the idea of owning one.

I think I'm going to give the seller a call soon - that is, if the wife likes the "high pockets" styling.

BTW, my research tenatively shows that this car is probably a 1951 or 1952 200 Deluxe. It has "teeth" in the grille and the vertical tail lamps. The side trim is off the car due to some bodywork having been started. Whether the trim is included will probably make or break the purchase in my mind.

Thanks again for all the input. Oh, and one last question. This car is painted a kind of medium blue, any idea what that color was called?
