Here is a copy (Stude museum) of the original Build sheet for my 56 Patrician. The only thing the dealer (who bought it for himself) didn't like were the seat belts. I'm not sure if this is the car that Leeedy talked about because the dealer bought it for himself. I talked with his son and he said his parents loved the car. Note the odd rear-end ratio.
AND WIRE WHEELS!
Yes, as I said this car (or one identical to it) was owned at one point along the way by a former employee of Creative Industries of Detroit. He didn't order it new, he just owned it at one point. I suspect that if you talk to whomever sold this car to you he may even confirm this fact.
However, there were indeed a lot of 1955 and 1956 Packards at Creative and at the other company I mentioned in Detroit that had strange paint jobs and unusual interiors. And these were not necessarily ordered from the factory as such.
I should also mention as I have said many times before that Mitchell-Bentley stitched up special-order and production Packard interiors during the 1950s and if you look closely on the order, you indeed will see a notation of Mitchell-Bentley regarding the interior.
