Looks like a nice car to start with. If none of the windows work check the circuit breaker and relay mounted above and slightly offset to the voltage regulator high on the firewall in front of the driver. If just one or two are acting up then usually it's the switch or the plug in connector to the switch.

The 1955 Packard 400 is an awesome car. It looks great in the photo. Be patient ... everything will work out. Does it have air conditioning too?

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

Nice purchase and welcome. Lots of help here at this website. I love 400's from 1955 too.

I've learned a wealth of info I needed from day one. All four windows are not functional but I've yet to trace it. I've been babying her and have a few lil issues but she's a good driver that sat a while. No AC :(

Don't be too disappointed about not having A/C. The OE system that was supplied for BOTH production and dealer installation wasn't very common, then, and some of the parts are hard to find, now. Aftermarket systems of the period would be as much or more of a challenge, today.
The combination of vent windows in the doors and fresh air vents in the firewall are usually enough to keep me cool - that is, while moving. Unless a pivot spool is broken, know that the front door vent windows will actually open to a reverse angle - thus, serve as air scoops.

The guy I bought it from had a two tone white with a brown top he had already sold. I need carpet for it and the dash is down to metal so I figure painting it would be a good idea. No rust in the floor boards surprisingly. It was I believe a Oregon car as their is a oil change reminder from a shop in Camas that has the old Alpha number to contact.
