Congratulations Jim!
I'm glad I found it on H.A.M.B. while looking for Packard parts for my own car. The Seller has a '58 Ford 2 dr Hardtop that is gorgeous. I also own a '58 Ford, except mine is a 2 door wagon. Maybe my '55 400 and your '5 Patrician will meet at a Car show some time. ![]() ![]()

Thank you everyone - and a special thanks for the switch location picture.
I did see the seller's '58 Ford and it IS beautiful! Needless to say, I'm grateful for you finding it and passing me the info. I hope to have it up and running by late spring - but you all know about time estimates in this hobby. I look forward to seeing your 400. Especially since I almost had one myself. Jim L. in OR

Thank you but I don't know about the "fleet" idea; I've just about used up my "Toy Allotment" from the Reverse Mortgage. I have to keep some $ for the needs of the '51 and now the '55.

Hello everyone,
I've been told that one item(s) on my '55 has been lost. So, what I need to know is the ordering info, description, identifiers, etc of the bolts, nuts or fasteners that hold the starter in place. I want to hook up the starter to see if I can talk the levelizer into raising the car's tail off the ground. Hopefully this will work so I can load it onto the trailer without damaging anything. Thanks in advance, Jim L. in OR

You can buy the 7/16 bolts at any decent hardware store. They are an ordinary common bolt but Packards were heat treated so get a good grade--5 or better.

Yesterday it became official: With money exchanged for Title, I became the new owner of a 1955 Packard Patrician. The colors are Ultramarine Iridescent top and lower body over Zircon. The interior is coded 60 - with the leather bolsters matching the Zircon and fabric a sort of Paisley version of the darker color. I plan on bringing it home as soon as I get a space in the garage cleaned out.
The really strange thing is that when I was about 8 years old, I traded a toy car of mine for two toy 55 Packard Patricians that a neighbor kid had. One was a sort of middle green over yellow but the other one was painted exactly the same as the car I bought Yesterday - 52 years later. All most makes me believe in "Fate". I've lost the green and yellow one, but I found the matching one about a month ago in a box I was going through from my parents house. The model car was a "Dinky Toy" Die-cast for those wondering. I don't know what the scale is but it's about 4" long.

Congratulations again on becoming a proud owner. May it be a well behaved addition and not always asking for something. Since you're a veteran though, you know that won't happen and the "I mighta well do it's" will be forthcoming.

My congratulations as well as ![]() Regarding your look alike Dinky toy Packard, the '55 Patrician Owners Manual here on PackardInfo shows overall length as 218&1/2" and with the Dinky toy at 4" that equates to about 1:55. EDIT - See Post #31 for Jim's NEW Packard Owner's Registry entry.
