56 Caribbean number one on ebay. A little rough.

1 or 2 56 Patricians known to exist out of 300 made??

$50k for a 56 Pat in average condition? What are some people thinking?

Also a 56 400 in the bay area, a little pricy but has potential.

Here is a 56 Pat in the bay area, at what seems a reasonable price.

I had never seen the rear window wiper on a 56 before, was this very common? Or is it an after market accessary?

Can this be right?

I do not presently own a Packard, but have owned three different V8s over the years. I recently got a scanner that allows me to scan old photos and 35mm slides into the computer.

So I was just wondering if anyone on this site has seen or knows what may have happened to the cars that I once owned.

The 55 Clipper constellation was bought by me in 1975 for $200.00 when I was in high school, it's s/n was 5567-5611 and was sold in 1977 near Ukiah CA.

The 56 400, I bought at the Turlock swap meet in about 1990 and sold at the same swap meet a year or two later. Unfortunately I do not have the s/n anymore and there are dozens of Scottish heather and white 400s out there so I don't expect to ever find this one.

The blue 56 Patrician was my favorite, I bought it in 1990 in Stockton CA, it was originally from the Sacramento/Roseville area. And was originally white with grey top and bottom. A previous owner had removed the pushbutton shift and installed a older GM 4 speed hydra-matic with a column shift. It worked great and needed no cooler. It also had electric wipers and I installed a one wire alternator set up instead of the generator.

I cannot find any records of what the s/n was on that car, but I remember that the engine number matched. I sold it in the Modesto area in 1997 and the guy I sold it to did not keep it long and sold it to someone in the SF bay area.

I hope someone has taken care of it and given it a good home, it was running low oil pressure when I sold it (was disclosed to the buyer) so was ready for an engine rebuild and oil pump fix.
