VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | Originally from Chicago area, was restored in 197's. The seller' Father had kept it as a driver and used it sparingly for trips to the Iola meet. The car has been in storage for many years but is in very good condition overall and was not exposed to the elements. The current engine is out of a 55 Packard 4. It is planned to be a loving, long term, driving restoration project. I have wanted one of these since I was 1 years old when my older brother introduced me to Packards and my father taught me how to work on them (first car was a 52 Packard 2). It has been a 4 year dream, but it was worth the wait! | ||||
