Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

My son builds movie sets. At times he has to go to remote or unused studios. He called me Friday from a large building in Glendale where he found an interesting collection which apparently has been dormant for some time. One of which, is a very original 1957/58 Eldorado brougham. Also included is a 55 Packard Clipper, very like ours but more presentable, a 60's/70's Pontiac GTO convertible and several more that are covered. I will try to go there as soon as possible and get some pictures.
I found the reclusive cars yesterday. They are part of an estate and are owned by the four kids. There are several that I would be interested in; the 58 Brougham, 55 Packard, and 64 T Bird convert. The ones that are fun, but I don't need, include a very nice late 30's Ford Semi truck tractor with original sleeper, 79 Firebird convertible, late 80's El Comino and a collection of Harley parts. They are all tagged 1994. The Packard VIN is 5542-4829 Theft proof is less easy. It looks like D28750. The first character is hard to make out. It was being prepared for paint way back then, I'm told the missing parts are in the trunk. I plan to contact "Steve" (the only name and number I could track down) and find out more.
See you at the Swap Meet, Tom

Interesting that the '55 Clipper Super is just 156 units older than my 5542, but the TPN is 983 units older than mine. The first character of the TPN should be a "D".

Hi Tom,

I be interested in seeing pictures of the GTO's.

Are they looking to sell if so any idea what they are asking for the car's?
