Hello, I'm new to PackardInfo.com, new the Packards and mostly new to Auto Restoration. A trifecta of ignorance if you will.
There is so much fantastic information here that I can't seem to concentrate on any one area but I'll get the hang of it. I'll feel in the registry soon.
I've been wanting a project car for some time just never really knew what I wanted until my wife stumbled upon a picture of here dads car. We actually found several pics of him and various Packards but the 400 was our favorite. So here I am, I'll be in touch.

G'day Stewart,
to PackardInfo. Looking forward to seeing your Packard in the Packard Owner's Registry soon.

As an owner of a 56 400, welcome to Packardinfo.
There are many helpful folks here who will try to help you with any questions you have. Glad to have you aboard.

Hi Steward, welcome to PackardInfo.com.

Looking forward to raise this treasure.

Stewart:

Your 400 looks about the same as my Patrician did many years ago when I started. In order to start you have to first decide what you want in the end and how much time and money.
Example: top quality show car rebuild everything whether it needs it or not = very expensive and long term. Good quality driver = not so expensive and less time. Once you decide that then you can work out a plan. Good luck.

Stewart, congratulations on your fine choice of a '55 Packard Four Hundred as your project car! I look forward to following your progress with your restoration on this site and it is a wealth of information and contacts. As you can see, I'm the proud owner of both a '55 Patrician and a '55 400. The 400 is on the road at this time but still needs quite a bit of work. The Patrician is the real project car and hopefully will be moving under its own power by spring. Enjoy your Packard!

Welcome to the group, Stewart. I too am fairly new and have a few of these fine 55s.
