Packard : Patrician Base Sedan 4-Door 1955 packard patrician base sedan power options only 58 000 miles reduced
$6,500
Smithtown, New York
For sale is my 1955 Packard Patrician 4 Door Sedan with only 58,000 miles on it, 8 cylinder engine, weighs 4,275 pounds. Transferable registration is clear and in my name. Have owned it for 10 years, bought it with 52K+ miles on it from my father's gas station partner. He had it garaged with his 20+ car collection for 15 years, believe he was only the 3rd owner at that point. Since purchase I have installed seat belts so I could ride with my kids, and replaced the exhaust. Everything else on it is the same as when I purchased it. Still runs great, starts right up and handles smoothly. Perfect car for a restoration project, or to own and drive as is. Car has power windows, power brakes, power steering, power antenna, power leveling system. Pretty modern for a 60 year old car. Additional photos (54 total) are available at http://s725.photobucket.com/user/smcci77/library/Packard?sort=9&page=1 Also took a video while driving it a while ago. My apologies for the quality of the video, hard to hold a camera in one hand and put the car in gear and drive with the other, but video does show how the car starts up and rides smoothly. http://youtu.be/UUhZQY8kDSI Car still starts up right away and drives well, will take another video and upload shortly. Very little rust on car besides floor board and front bumper. Even the tail pipe section under back taillights is in good shape, that area is known to be a problem spot but not on this car. Car came with a self leveling suspension which was a big deal in 1955. Previous owner installed a lever under the steering wheel to control leveling manually instead of original automated system. Helps to lower and raise the back of the car if you have more or less passengers for a smoother ride. What needs to be fixed to drive right away? For me nothing as I'm used to driving it as is and it starts up right away and drives well, but I'd suggest replacing the brake booster if nothing else. Saw the part in Hemmings for $250 a little while ago. Worth adding for better braking as you get used to the car. If you are buying the car and planning to do a full restoration, and this is a perfect car for that, you'll need a new vinyl dash, headliner, right window pane (line crack as seen in pix), new carpet, new antenna, fix power window on driver side (believe it is missing one link), snags at 80% up, but closes 100% with a little help past that one spot, patch seat or new upholstery as driver seat has a worn area, fix the gear selector (car shifts in and out of gears fine, selector on dash doesn't line up with gear. Mechanic believes a piece broke off in selector, but I never bothered to have it taken apart and adjusted.), fix windshield wiper fluid system (works on vacuum power, previous owner disconnected), new paint job and tires. Serious buyers and offers only please. A non-refundable $500 paypal deposit is required at time of sale, balance due within 10 days of sale. Balance payable by money order, certified check or cash in person. If you live near Smithtown, NY, contact me and I'll take you for a test drive.

Smithtown, New York
For sale is my 1955 Packard Patrician 4 Door Sedan with only 58,000 miles on it, 8 cylinder engine, weighs 4,275 pounds. Transferable registration is clear and in my name. Have owned it for about 8 years, bought it with 52K+ miles on it from my father's gas station partner. He had it garaged with his 20+ car collection for 15 years, believe he was only the 3rd owner at that point. Since purchase I have installed seat belts so I could ride with my kids, and replaced the exhaust. Everything else on it is the same as when I purchased it. Still runs great, starts right up and handles smoothly. Perfect car for a restoration project, or to own and drive as is. I originally bought this car to work on it and drive with my father and son. My son is now 21 and drives the Camaro you'll see quickly in the video, when he and I take joy rides these days it's either in his car, my Charger or our boat. Unfortunately that leaves the Packard sitting idly by, just don't have time to use it frequently enough and it should be owned by someone who has the time to enjoy it like we used to. Car has power windows and power brakes, pretty modern for a near 60 year old car. Took pictures of it on 10/19/14 which are shown and additional photos are available at http://s725.photobucket.com/user/smcci77/library/Packard?sort=9&page=1 , also took a video while driving it after that.
