I've never seen a 54 conv. that wasn't an Ultramatic. Was it converted to manual you think?

I know the engine color is wrong. Is the interior pattern & color wrong also?

Is this car recognized as a CCCA classic? Also, how long is it from bumper to bumper? It's the 138 inch WB.

I'm looking at a 55 400 that the seller says it will vibrate pretty bad but sometimes goes away as you speed up. Also says at a certain point when turning the steering wheel it stop altogether. From that limited description would you guys say it needs a front end rebuild?

I would definitely say the price, I just don't see it bringing that kind of money in the current market. Eventually the seller will figure it out or maybe not...

I looked up the 1941 180s. How do tell what specific 180 model that car is?

I really like the 54 Pacific, always have. Is it just me or is this an unrealistic price? I know what a full high end restoration cost but I also know the current market. Heck the convertibles aren't even selling for those prices. I wonder if cars like this ever actually sale and for what price.

I was looking at the 53 conv. In the for sale forum that needs interior. Honestly there is little chance I can buy it but thought I would at least research it. Does that kind of interior need to be redone only by a antique restoration shop or can a good auto upolstery shop do it? What would I expect to pay for that? Thanks

If I understand right the "9" right after the 2272 means you have 1949 22nd series Packard.

JD, The car is painted Gold and I'll ask about the glove box and fuel filler tube.
