It's a 35 Super 8. Look at the horn button and the hood louvers. I did a parts inventory on it. It's a numbers matching car right down to the front axle. The sad part is who knows what those knuckleheads did with the rest of the parts. There were extra instrument boards, the interior trim and hardware and everything else. If the lot is what you see in the pictures then that's a problem. There were a lot parts around that operation. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using Packard headlight lenses for ashtrays.

I made a call and found out what the hell is going on down there.

In fact, here is a picture of the inside of the starter cover for that car I took to document the effects of ozone on the original Packard green.

The 54 Patrician that yard drives for $2500. Not bad. Gives you the one year only engine in a senior Packard in black.

Of course, it would require everything ultimately, to show and tour enjoy. I think the seller came to that conclusion.

I restore the car, and the car restores me.

Hi BryanMoran

If that '54 Patrician isn't a total rust-bucket, it might be quite a deal. As far as the interior, unless one is an absolute purist, fitting an interior salvaged from another Patrician is an options, as are seats from a recent Lincoln Town Car. Door panels are simple enough to cover with matching acceptable material. Could be a great daily driver.

A few '40's choices:

A '40 120 club sedan major project:

A '41 120 convertible with sidemounts:
harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/5166498634.html

A '47 Clipper Six, 23K miles, ready-to-enjoy:
pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/5170423736.html

A '49 Custom Eight, 48K miles, stick with OD, no picture:

1956 Clipper
Its not perfect but might be worth a grand for the AC alone. Its off the beaten path a bit, in the Ozarks.

Hi BDC

That's an interesting '38 Eight, looks to be in very nice original condition, wonder if its a 1601-D, Model 1172?

Here's a small variety:

A '55 Clipper, 34K miles, no photo, inexpensive:
detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/5161227015.html

A handsome '55 Patrician, 22K miles, factory air, looks good, though green mouse-fur seats:
indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/5199252777.html

A '49 Super Deluxe Eight, potmetal looks heavily pitted, 57K miles, I suspect this is the same one that was offered on a Copart auction a few years ago.
philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/5179768889.html

A '48 Super Eight convertible parts car, a second one lurks in the background, if you need convertible specific parts:
