Thanks for sharing this! What do you think made your dad pick this car over other models and what influenced him to pick this color combo do you think?

I remember the Packard dealer in my home town of Lubbock, Texas having a 4 door Patrician 400 in that exact color combination on the showroom floor. When you drove by the dealership at night, everything else in the show room was dark, but this Patrician 400 was illuminated by spot lights. The lighting was dramatic - the contrast between the light and dark - and that Patrician looked spectacular. I've never forgotten that.

My stepdad saw that car in the showroom every day and just had to have it. They wanted him to leave it in the showroom for a while but wouldn't offer any money. He took the car. I remember we paid $3200.00 for it because Mom balked at first(lol).

no, No NO!
I have three Packards now and am a '56 devotee. I remember the '52 fondly and although my teenage friends made fun of the Packard, they all wanted to take it when we were double-dating. So although that vehicle convinced me that Packards were a superior vehicle, I have limited myself to '56 senior Packards. Did I mention I learned how to hotwire that car and taught myself how to drive? Yes, I got caught and paid dearly for those lessons.

Here's some incentive to get out of the rut Randy:
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/5715265574.html It's in the same color scheme, not too far away from you and a price that won't break the bank.
