Looks fantastic to me. I was high bidder on a lark, what if the reserve was 15K? No one? Okay, likely 19-20K, but is it really not worth that? If I was not deployed, and the wife wouldn't have beaten me too hard, I would be all over this, and it is 27 yys younger than my scrap pile, (in progress) Chevy in this condition would go for twice this much, would it not?

Hi
Looks to be nicely restored and a costly job....but, money is tight for so many.....or not assured in the future.....collector cars being nice to enjoy......but a luxury one can live without! Check the "Riddle me this, why? why? why? thread regarding low or flat values for these fine cars. BTW, the hood ornament is '52-'54 Senior models, looks nice on it, though. Here's the Craigslist posting, $15,500. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/1849320161.html Steve

This car has been on eBay about 5 times and each time it never sells.

so, my question remains, why not? and yes, I read the whole string about chevy / ford. but, it is still a damn fine looking car. okay, the air cleaner missing, and funny routed wiring is a little suspect, but still, what gives? Help educate the naive, or I might just do something silly when i get back!
and no I don't have any affiliation

i once spoke to a man selling a Model N Ford. He was, at the time, asking an outrageous price. His wife had told him to sell one of his cars, so he was "selling " it .but he had ensured that no one would buy it..... Regards John Harley

intersting, I once bought a bike from a guy with an add that read "apparently do whatever the hell you want to do, meant something different to her than to me"

No, I don't think a '55 Chevy 4 door would go for twice the buy it now price of this car. With that said, I see the auction has just ended so I can only hope you pulled the trigger and now have a fine looking Packard to drive and enjoy. I really like the color. It is a surprisingly fine looking two-tone combination. Jim

Not for $21500 they don't.
Old Cars Price Guide says $8100 for a #3 1955 Packard Clipper Custom Sedan. $12,600 for a #2 and $18,000 for a #1. With the best wishes in the world, I can't see someone paying more for that car than a Pebble Beach show winner. It's a #3 at best. $9300 is a very generous offer for that car, $1200 over book value. The owner is just greedy, or a dreamer
