Re: Santa brought a New Packard...

Tootsietoy Packards are actually quite collectible . . . Unrestored, beat-up specimens are available for less than ten bucks, while mint-in-box sets including the trailer BH mentioned (as pictured below) can reach $100 or more . . . even if the box does feature a Cadillac in the artwork! I agree that the most likely subject is a 1955 Patrician. These toys were actually considered quite realistic for their time, and I have a couple in my own collection. The ones that owners have "restored" in more authentic and/or more detailed paint jobs aren't worth any more, and in most cases less. My advice is to leave it as is, unless you just want a nicer-looking conversation piece and you're not worried about value.
