Yesterday it became official: With money exchanged for Title, I became the new owner of a 1955 Packard Patrician. The colors are Ultramarine Iridescent top and lower body over Zircon. The interior is coded 60 - with the leather bolsters matching the Zircon and fabric a sort of Paisley version of the darker color. I plan on bringing it home as soon as I get a space in the garage cleaned out.
The really strange thing is that when I was about 8 years old, I traded a toy car of mine for two toy 55 Packard Patricians that a neighbor kid had. One was a sort of middle green over yellow but the other one was painted exactly the same as the car I bought Yesterday - 52 years later. All most makes me believe in "Fate".
I've lost the green and yellow one, but I found the matching one about a month ago in a box I was going through from my parents house. The model car was a "Dinky Toy" Die-cast for those wondering. I don't know what the scale is but it's about 4" long.
