On a side note...How are the 53-56 packards not sought after as much. The first time I seen one was last week and I love these things now. The rarity of them for sale also gets me, I have een searching CL for all the close states and there is almost nothing in that year range, especially 400 coupes. All year Carribeans are amazing looking cars.
Most all here will agree with you that Packard made some beautiful cars. However, most people in the US unfortunately have McDonald's taste buds. Paint your truck orange and swap it with and LS motor and run it through a televised auction. You'll see a $100k or some other stupid figure.. next up will be your Packard in that blue hue restored to perfection maybe $35-45k... if the wind is to it's back. Glad to hear more people appreciate these cars, they are great machines. Don't go in thinking you'll make money, it's a labor of love. Go into it with blinders and this car will become yet another "abandoned at the pound" and eventually parted out. Ebay is loaded with those.
