... is it possible it was special ordered in Roman Copper and Dover White? To answer that question, one would first need to inspect the VN tag. Beyond that, only a copy of the production order, which might be available from the Sutdebaker Museum (since this is a 56 and not a Carib or Four Hundred) would tell the rest of the (factory) story. While it is a fact that Packard did, on ocassion, accomodate (and document) special requests, such examples are not nearly as common as private alterations. It's not that I don't like maroon, but I'll be stripping every last spec of it off of my 56 Pat and restoring it to original colors - something like the example attached below.

Hate to drift off-topic, but back in post #179, Let the Ride Decide asked about an item on eBay. It sure ain't a Torsion-Level part; it's not even a Packard part. Shame on the seller.
Take a look at the second image from the auction that I've attached below. Then, take a look at an image from the Rockler (woodworking) catalog that I've also attached, and I think you'll agree that this is a glide for a wooden chair leg. Attach file: (12.58 KB) (15.00 KB)

'55 Patrician # 1
Why did somebody bother to save this car if they were not going to SAVE this car?? On the bright side, it was not stored in a lake.... Not for long, anyhow. Maybe a guy could buy that crashed Clipper on Ebay & get some great parts -at least to get it on the road. This one is a keeper.

Hi
Another Craigslist choice picking: http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4275563862.html Among this field of cars is a 22nd Series Custom Eight. Alamosa is in the San Luis Valley of south central Colorado so will be rustfree example. Check out the rear view of the '57 Nash for the Custom Eight in the background. In it you can see the chrome moulding surround on the trunklid. Maybe I'll have to take a daytrip down there for a look this summer. Steve PS: Almost forgot this '51 Patrician 400 in NJ: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/4298848097.html Probably not rustfree but a worthwhile project.

Hi
Projects, parts cars, four all together: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/4303709761.html That '51 Patrician might have a rebuildable engine, plus lots of other good parts. Steve
