Re: What about the 25K 105mph V8 Patrician?

Reading a bit between the lines on what some Packard historians have told me in response to the initial query, there were apparently two pre-production 1955 Patricians built in 1954 as test bed vehicles. One was probably the torsion level test bed car which ultimately was given to Bob Allison and still exists. The other, apparently the 25,000 mile test car, was likely scrapped by the factory. Also a few 1954 cars were modified and equipped with the torsion level, also for factory evaluation. They probably meet a similar fate.

Some real facts would be nice. I'd especially like to have the thief-proof and vehicle numbers from the Allison car.
