Very nice car except I can’t believe someone put that interior in it. Not even colors matching. I think it will be a hard sell at that price since most people with that kind of money will not want a resto mod interior. The original seats are not terribly hard to find but the upholstery work will be expensive. In other words, if I want to spend 35k, I’d buy the car at 25k or so and budget 5k or more for the necessary work to make it a truly nice car.
On the other hand, the “Caribbean” spec will probably add value. There are a couple cars that have been done in that way, and very few people complain about it. Of course, the tri tone adds to the appearance a good deal, in the eyes of many.

I concur with that, unfortunately. Some people just like to do resto-mods but, at the same time, almost everyone is looking for the original, it seems

I looked at the additional photos of the car and have to agree with the above assessment. The resto-modded interior is a huge letdown and really detracts from the overall appearance of the car. This will make a sale very difficult without significantly discounting the asking price. Resto-modding works with some cars, but not at all with Packards in my opinion. The Packard people I know are all sticklers for originality. The other issue is that there are quite a few of these cars currently on the market as more people are aging out of the old car hobby. Values for pre-1960's collector cars, particularly for orphaned makes, have been flat or declining for years now. You have to take that into consideration if you are trying to offload one of these vehicles.
