I know South Bend has the last Studebaker in the Museum, but does anyone know where the last South Bend produced Packard is? What's the last serial number? Just curious, I figured with the production orders, it should be easily identified as the last car? Was wondering if it still exists?

According to Steven Kelley's article, “Packard: A Quest for Answers,” published in The Boulevard News of East Grand Packards (a region of The Packard Club), in the March-April 2006 issue: The last Packard ever assembled was built on July 25, 1958, one of 15 built that day. A four-door sedan painted solid Mountain Blue, its serial number was 58L-8134, body #905, engine #2123. Equipped with a manual transmission, it featured an optional overdrive, whitewall tires, Climatizer heater, push button radio, and a manual rear deck antenna. Its delivery destination, and its fate today, are unknown.

This isn't exactly relevant, but the last ever Packard was actually made in 1999 as a concept car by someone that bought the rights to the name and iconography and planned to relaunch the make.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.
