VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
Sold July 15 1956 by Evanston Fohrman-Packard Inc to Mr Helmuth STUDE of Baltimore, MD. Sticker price with options was $5475 but Mr STUDE actually paid $476 AND got $1735 trade in allowance for a 1953 Packard 3 VIN 2672-7288.


Sept 1, 1984 purchased from Mr STUDE's estate by Gerald GORDON of Baltimore MD

Jan 4 2 purchased from Mr GORDON by Russell KERR of Melbourne Australia. Russell had a light rebuild done on the engine and obtained a US-rebuilt TU which works well. Car was repainted and front suspension, brakes, power steering and TLR rebuilt.

9 January 2011 purchased by me as a turn key car that has required only normal maintenance.
Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
At some stage a period accessory Trico electric vacuum pump to power the windshield wipers was fitted and it is still there. However, the vacuum setup has been replaced with electrics.

I have fitted a CD player and speakers in a custom made under dash module that can be removed by undoing 2 bolts.
