Originally a Texas car, it is very solid and is a very nice driver. Interior and paint were redone in 1990 by previous owner in Texas. Interior is very nice, paint is starting to show its age.

This is a nice example of an early 50s luxury car and in in great driver condition.       This is an antique car; and as such is not provided with a warranty. It is sold as-is, where-is. Local inspection is recommended and welcomed. I have driven this car around town but have not taken it on a highway trip. Therefore, I don't know if you can fly out and drive it home or not. I recommend the use of a shipping company. I will gladly drive the car to a local shipping company outlet, but all shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.      I welcome any and all questions about the car. There is a local chapter of Packards International and their members will be able to inspect the car for you if you would like. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally. Good luck and thank you for bidding!On Feb-26-11 at 20:39:54 PST, seller added the following information: Please note that I have lowered the reserve price. I don't know why the notice stating that the reserve price had been lowered did not appear on the listing when I lowered it last night. Thank you for your interest!
