Re: 55 Patrician dimensions

Looking at my 56 it would be the front bumper and side moldings. The 55 photo from parts manual also looks to be the same with wider front bumpers.
On each side, the chrome molding sticks out an inch or so. Rear bumpers are flush and front bumpers stick out about 3" per side.
Measuring the actual tire track, if driving absolutely straight on, 72" for the tires would be needed and it would be tight. As long as nothing sticks up higher than about 6-8" from the floor then the body should pass over. That would be the absolute minimum. At 80" width on the trailer, a good driver could do it if the wheel wells are not too high to prevent the door from opening -- but just make sure the door will open or you will have to crawl out a window.
