I know it's a wild shot, but just in case, I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone have ANY information (previous owners, sales info, original location, accident history, service history, etc.) on a 1952 Patrician, 2552-5335? It's a Packard Blue car with blue/gray cloth interior.

If so, can you PM me? The last owner lived in Sierra Madre, CA. According to the story the previous owner told me, he found the car in Hemmings in 2003. I have looked through every Hemmings issue from 2003 and haven't found a Patrician advertised...

The car appears to have been repainted at some point in the original color, the odometer currently indicates just over 41,000 miles.
In July 2003 the odometer indicated 36,600 miles.
In March 1959 the odometer indicated 34,300 miles according to the lubrication sticker on the door.

The car may have come from the Midwest, possibly Kansas City. At some point the trailing edge of the back door through to the rear quarter panel was scratched on the drivers side.

The story I've gotten is that the car was owned by a man in the Mission Hills district of Kansas City, KS, who passed away about a year after buying it. His widow drove it briefly and then parked it in the garage, where it sat for 35 years. A local collector bought it from her estate and had the car painted, owning it for several years before selling it to a man from Sierra Madre, CA who sold it to me...

Thanks!
