PAINT NAME:
Matador Maroon Metallic
INTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
Interior appears to be 2-tone browns/reds. Fabric is in fair condition, and these seats will be used for the restoration project of our nicer Patrician. Excellent for covering pattern, fabric choice, and upholstery details.
EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
Car had been painted over with what appears to be Galahad Green at some later date. The green is peeling off to expose the Matador Maroon... a superior color choice in my opinion.

VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
This vehicle was purchased purely as a parts car. History prior to December 214 unknown. Rear axles are missing, but differential appears intact. Front suspension appears to be in excellent overall condition as does the radiator (will likely need recoring). Car was loaded with windshields, side glass, old specialty automotive tools, and 123 old hubcaps ranging between 194-1964 (many rare caps). Car will be stripped of all stainless interior trim
(in near-perfect condition), dash (will restore/repaint goatskin for resale), all interior window trim (likewise painted/restored), good exterior window trim, several perfect trim pieces, and most everything that can be deemed easily restored.

Pleasant surprise bonus: 2 complete sets of fenders skirts in excellent condition. One set is same silver gray as our good Packard, and as this one was sitting next to ours in the yard, I'm betting they're the missing pair off of our car.

Body tag was painted over, and hard to read beyond the stamped numbers.

Car gets moved into heated garage Monday, March 3, 215 and drive train gets pulled over that week, along with remaining salvageable parts.
