1948, 1949 and 1951 Packard in Dayton, Ohio.
"The bodys are in good condition from what I can tell..." when viewed from a galloping horse. "All 3 cars have a original straight 6 motors..." Numbers matching, no doubt. "In the garage for many years until recently." Recently being 1970. $3000/ea or he'll cut you a deal...all three for $9K.

If.......that's the case these are very rare and unusual Packards! Of course, someone may have lopped 2 cylinders off each engine? Or they may all be '48 Export/Taxis, which ARE rare and unusual!

Hi
That '51 Patrician in Dayton was advertised a few years ago, looked to be a good car left to weather, shame. More choices: A '54 Cavalier, solid Colorado car, reactivate it, clean it up and enjoy: denver.craigslist.org/cto/6057155486.html Three V8 projects in Nebraska: A weathered '55 400, may be a parts car: omaha.craigslist.org/cto/6068308364.html A '56 Executive sedan, list a rare manual shift: lincoln.craigslist.org/cto/6068299136.html Now the prize, a '56 Caribbean convertible: lincoln.craigslist.org/cto/6068484923.html Steve

Does that 1956 Caribbean in Nebraska look suspiciously like a 1955 to anyone else? Non-pushbutton Twin-Ultramatic selector lever, Emerald green steering column (a 1955 color for Caribbean, but Norwegian Forest I don't believe was used on any 1956 Caribbeans), a 1955 Senior ivory engine block versus 1956 Senior bronze, and 1955 type headlamp hoods on the fenders.

I think 55 too. It may be the light and shadows but almost looks like there is a crown on the top of the front fenders. The power window relay is mounted per 55 -- vertically on the firewall instead of the 56s horizontally on the pinch weld at the top of firewall.

Hi
Definitely appears to be a '55, here's a couple enhanced photos for a closer look. Both show how the stamped windshield header was cut and the casting inserted into the remaining A-pillars. Steve

Hi Steve: your post #2630 could be interpreted as saying the windshield frames were constructed differently in 55 and 56, and that's something I'm not aware of. If that was your intent, could you elaborate on the differences?

In case you miss the pink overspray, the seller let's you know it "...looks good from a distance, but you do not want to get to close."
