Welcome to the group. I have a 56 Patrician. You are lucky it did not come with the electric shift, which can be a stinker to repair. Stay with the radials, the handling is vastly superior. I've owned a lot of different cars, but the best handling I ever had was a 1965 Alfa-Romeo Sprint GT. Enjoy your Patrician. IMHO it was the finest production sedan in the world in 1956.
