i was at a tiny car show with my friend showing his 54 henney junior, and overheard a guy telling his friend that a local police department was trying to unload a 50s packard cop car. i left the show early and started hunting. the department he mentioned had traded the car years ago, but the department they traded it to was happy to see it go to a good home. my pair of 55s were also found completely by chance. My dad is an avid hocky player, and one day, a guy who usually doesnt play came in, and at some point asked my dad how my 66 dodge dart (now sold) was coming along. dad said it was sold, but i now had a 56 packard and was looking for parts. he said that his father in law just so happened to have 2 55s he wanted to sell cheap. pure luck.


sorry if that was a bit long, but its so nice to relive good memories!
