I showed Fred the ad, and she did turn up her pretty little nose. My guesses for no interior pictures: 1 - the dash is all over that blanket. 2 - there is lots of daylight coming in where the A-pillar floors used to be. 3 - someone had best know a decent upholsterer and a source of cloth, or where the Mexican blanket store is. Fred does like coupes, however, but she's more . . . discerning, shall we say. ;) Regarding the '38 and the "asking for" price: One fried used to call that "wishin-n-hopin'." And another used to say, "wish in one hand and $#!t in the other and see which fills first." And I thought the experimental aluminum block was in 8 form only . . . .

Never heard about Packard using an experimental aluminum block. Could those who know about this please share with the rest of us - in a separate posting in the pre-war section. Thanks.

The comments around the aluminum engine are tongue-in-cheek due to the 1938’s super-high price.

I think it was more outright sarcasm. There are some ornery people here. "Wat, why are you so mean???"

I think it might have an aluminum head and the seller has no clue what he's talking about.

I've seen this 1955 Patrician sitting behind a fence at a local salvage yard for the last 10 years (always telling myself that I would stop in and check it out). Today I noticed the Packard sitting outside the fence, so no reason not to stop.
What I found very interesting (as I know hardly anything about postwar Packards) the tag on the front seat with "Body by Packard). If someone is interested in it, I can get more/better pictures.
