Hey Jim,
I found this '55 Patrician in Oregon City, Oregon for $2,000.
It sounds pretty good for the price. From the Ad:
1955 Packard Patrician for sale
Location: Orego City, OR Price: $2000 obo
I hate to do it. *PROJECT* For sale, 1955 Packard Patrician 4D, 352ci w/4BBL, AT, PS, PB, PW, PA, power seats, underseat heater, torsion bar suspension, skirts, hub caps, two tone light blue w/dk blue roof and bottom, clear title on Oregon SP plates reg'd to me (Oregon residents you only have to register them once!), light blue leather interior w/original dark blue cloth inserts w/silver paisley design, no cracks on steering wheel, all glass intact, all chrome and stainless, everything is there. Engine turns by hand, I pulled the plugs when I got it, and put Marvels mystery oil in each cylinder. Purchased from Matthews Memory Lane Motors in the early 1980's for a high school age kid. He didn't want to drive it ("not cool like a Honda"), so it was driven by the parents until something broke. It was parked in old folks garage in 1984, and slowly covered with boxes, until I bought it a couple years ago. I have never gotten a chance to tear into it.
INTERIOR NEEDS: carpet, dash vinyl, some minor stitching where the threads broke. Driver's door put back together (bought it that way).
ENGINE: Unknown.
TRANSMISSION: Appears to be stuck in reverse, I was told that this is a common occurance when they were towed backward. Had to be done to get it out of garage.
BODY: Original paint is in good shape, couple thin spots on roof with light surface rust on these spots. There are two small dents on the body, and some damage to a couple pieces of the stainless. I have been buffing the oxidation out of the paint whenever I get a few minutes to do so.
MISC: Gas tank needs to be boiled out, brakes need to be gone through, etc etc.
I bought this after my wife said we needed a more 'family' car to haul the kids around in. Shortly after I bought it, my daughter needed surgery and has since been diagnosed with cerebral palsey. I have had no time to do anything to this car except collect parts. It has been kept under cover on my RV pad since I got it. I also have collected misc trim parts, a bumper end, work manuals, tune up parts, gaskets, and such.
I would like $2000 OBO for everything. I don't need any vehicle trades, however a partial trade of something interesting I might consider.
Just saw my typo, car is in Oregon City, just outside of Portland.
Posted four pictures, there's some more in one of my albums.
