It looks like the glove box door has been modified with a cigar lighter socket, an auxiliary ashtray, and a clock from left to right. These additions are very neatly done but they must have reduced the storage area in the box considerably.
The car most certainly has a heater. The heater core tubes are visible protruding from the firewall. One of the tubes is near the bend of the red heater bypass hose; the other is visible just on the sunny side of the sun/shadow line. Undoubtedly the core sprung a leak so the decision was made to bypass the heater core rather than fix it. The heaters Packard used were actually Delco units with round heater cores, so they are found on GM vehicles and probably some other makes as well.

The body and interior of the Mayfair look to be in nice condition. Fixing a motor is a lot less expensive than doing body and upholstery work.

120? 160?

I've never seen a 54 conv. that wasn't an Ultramatic. Was it converted to manual you think?

Probably converted by a dealer or subsequent owner; Ultramatic was standard equipment on the '54 convertible.

Hi Packard0
For 1954, Ultramatic was only standard equipment on Patricians and Caribbeans, Not everyone was sold on automatics then, many distrusted their reliability and long-term durability. A stick with overdrive was still the first choice of many drivers who liked to be in more full control of the car's operation. Here's a couple more pre-war choices: A lovely '36 120B convertible coupe, very nice but Senior priced: http://charleston.craigslist.org/cto/5289393673.html A '37 115C sedan, just needs a re-upholstery BAD!
