Vehicle Description

The car is a 1956 Packard 400 hardtop with an ultramatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power front seat, AM/FM radio, clock, power windows, and power antennae. At the time of purchase in 2021, the car had been repainted by a prior owner in its original color code (M/K) Scottish Heather and Dover White. The radio had been converted to AM/FM and the clock to electric. The engine had been replaced with a 374 ci Patrician engine and the windshield wipers had been converted to single speed electric. The interior is mostly original with the exception of the carpet and the material on the seats which have been changed.

There were several things that were done immediately: adjust the brakes, replace the generator (which was not working), repair the broken frame of front seat, repair both wind wings and replace the glass, repair the power windows, and, restore the door panels using the original material, replace interior rearview mirror and both side mirrors.

The power windows work, the power seat works, the power antenna works and the gauges, lights and torsion bar suspension all work, and we recently changed the bushings in the Watts stabilizer. The speedometer was repaired in 2023 and the odometer was set to reflect the mileage at the time of the repair. In 2023 we purchased a new battery and put on Vogue white wall radial tires.

The car was driven to PAC’s National Meet in Rohnert Park, California from Idyllwild, California in 2023 (a distance of over 1,092 miles) with no mechanical issues. The speedometer currently reads 108,987.
