Re: Are there production figures for 1955-1956 Packards with manual transmissions?

Randy, I can't remember where/when I saw this particular '55-'56 Packard advertised for sale, but the ad for it specifically stated that the transmission had been swapped for a Torqueflite per approved practice of some Packard club. I don't recall if the ad even mentioned WHICH club 'approved'.

I remember wondering at the time why the owner just didn't rebuild the Ultramatic - or have it rebuilt for him.

Here is a link I found on Google; it refers to a '56 Golden Hawk but backs up what I posted...http://www.1956goldenhawk.com/newslpdf/56jon008.pdf
