I bought my 55 Panama from a used car lot right next to my Army post, Fort Bliss, Texas in July, 1961. $500.00.
It had about 30,000 miles on it and was mint. My first Packard but not the last. After two years of neglect and abuse it gave out on me and I blew the engine. I found an engine, in fact a whole car in a junk yard in El Paso and bought it for parts. The guy at the junk yard offered me a deal. He would pull the engine and sell it to me for $100. Or, he would sell me the whole car for $50. I bought the whole car and swapped the engines at the junk yard. The owner of the yard even helped me with it.

I found an Owner's Manual for a '52 in the glove box of my blue '51. On the blank back pages was a list of all the repairs that was done on the car during 10 years of ownership. The list included the usual plus replacing body panels (due to rust, I'd suppose) about a couple of years before it was traded in
On a new '62 Chevy...... He was allowed $65 for the Packard. ![]()
