It appears complete, has engine and transmission, good doors and fenders and a like. No title

Roof is rusted as is the right rear floor.

I'm keeping the rolling frame and some trim pieces.

Located in Riverside Ca.

Hello Eric,

Can you take a half-decent picture of this area?

Also a picture of the dash

I'm really, really wondering if this isn't a car I knew of in the 1970s that originally belonged to a member of Earle C. Anthony Region of PAC. Straight as an arrow. It is obvious that somebody mast have taken good care of this Packard for a long, long time... only to come to this.

Makes me very sad to see a car that rolled out of the Conner Avenue Packard Plant in Detroit so very long ago... having survived all these years. And now? Un-loved like this and set to be dismembered.

One thing I know for sure... people in SoCal refer to cars as "rusty".... when many of them have never seen real RUST. A car left sitting out like this in Ohio would have the headlights falling out of the fenders. Look at those front fender ends... rock hard.

Rub out that lacquer with polishing compound... replace the missing skirts, put a decent set of wheels and whitewalls on this car and it could likely be a stunner.

Good point, why are you parting it out? Is the interior wrecked or something?

To answer the questions -
- The pillar emblems are gone
- Skirts are in the trunk
- Roof is rusted through above the left topside
- Floor is rusted out on the rear passenger side

I had to take both the pink one to get the black 55 which came with 3 Caribbean wires and complete NEW interior that was never installed and stored in the owner's living room.

Attached are photos that were requested.

Eric

Black plates of the type on the car were first issued in 1963 so not original to it.
