Quite a regular

As I have posted before, the rusty remains of a 54 Cav live in my area. The engine compartment seems excellent with all components in place and lots of extras like powerer steering, brakes, hydraulics etc. It is located in south Alabama.

Antsrcool, which Packard engine do you need? The 288 is the standard engine for the Clipper Special, with the 327 used in the Deluxe and Super Clippers and Cavaliers. If you have a Patrician, the 359 (one year only) is a must as anything else will adversely affect the value. The 359s are hard to find. A 327 is good choice for all models except the Patrician. Good luck.
P.S. Just noticed in the Packard For Sale section of the AACA website a 288 engine for sale.

Then it needs to be a 359. Good luck on that, as they're a one year only engine and rather hard to come by. (Trust me, I looked for a year before going with the 356's)

Any chance of asking the owner to include the '54 Caribbean in the Owner Registry here, including a pic, any known history and how it was acquired?
