It is priced like a #1 car, it came from a large collection & the Paint, Chrome & Stainless are supposed to be outstanding.
If it were priced like a #2, it would be headed to SE WI.
Hmmmmmm. I have a feeling I know this car from when it was once on the west coast. If you look at the photos, the interior is puffy and overdone... and there is no VIN (serial) plate in the driver's door jamb. Completely missing. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
There was one like this left stored at a doctor friend's house. He died and it disappeared. Twin rear antennae, but it originally was all white with white and black interior... I wonnnnder.
By the way... those wire wheels are about as wrong as they could be. Packard V-8 wire wheels never had the spokes out on the edge of the rim. Look like repops of Dodge and Plymouth wheels but way off for a Packard. Gotta do weird things with the front end track and camber since the offset of the wheel would have to be different. Would have to ride funny at high speed.
