Yeah but you was wanting a '52, not a '54.....

It's unusual to see power brakes with a stick transmission. My '52 Henney-Packard was like that so it stood out to me on this Pacific.

I think I see an Ultra quadrant on the column so it might not have left the factory with a manual.

Don, yes very unusual since Ultramatic was standard equipment in the Pacific. That vehicle was converted to standard shift at a later date.

Hi Randy
I've been interested in that Pacific since it showed up on Craigslist earlier this year. Have you had a chance to inspect it in person? I'd be interested to your assessment of its condition. I have reason to make a swing into the area later this year, intend to check out that Pacific if its still for sale by then, but would appreciate an independent assessment before I do so. Whether I buy it or not, given how scarce those are, I'm sure others would like to know more about it, maybe beat me to it. Thanks! Steve

I haven't seen this vehicle, but it has had several mods.
1951 hood. Stick shift. Solid black - I thought all Pacifics were two-toned. Between the body/paint work and the chrome plating you would have a lot of money invested. Also need to have a 54 gear-start ultra?

The Pacific I had was equipped with a regular Ultra so would have a gear start only if a late production. That is a question for the experts. When the GS was introduced did the regular Ultra production stop immediately like they did with the Clipper Custom/Executive changeover or could you still get a regular Ultra if desired after the GS introduction?
