Seems like a decent deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/955-Packard-Panama-2-door-coupe-/251088156057?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3a76053599 Posted on: 2012/6/18 10:53

Certainly looks like a nice car although being fairly plain jane, maybe the starting bid is scaring them off. Interesting it has auto and TL yet the only other power accessory is the antenna.

It seems good Packards on Ebay or other cars for that matter will bring their value if you just start the bidding low--kind of strange but it's something about that low starting bid.

Was it late in 1955 when TL became more-or-less standard equipment on all Packards? Posted on: 2012/6/18 14:05

I think the price is reasonable. you would spend more than that to get a lesser car to that shape. If I were not bogged down with other projects i might give a go. Posted on: 2012/6/18 18:56

Whether it could be the photo or maybe not the right shade of red is a question. Most glaring thing I see would be the Packard valve covers are incorrect for a Clipper. Still a nice car though.

Oddly equipped--notice it does not have the usual accessory group with the washers, trunk light, and backups. Makes me like it even more. Posted on: 2012/6/18 20:25
