For what it's worth, there is a very nice 53 Patrician on ebay right now for $13K:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200494614274&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/quote]

I noticed the number '400' on the dash of the above Patrician.

Was/is that the Packard series number? And is it that series number that the '55-'56 Four Hundred hardtop gets its name from?
