Hello Packard Fans!!!!!
Up for Auction I have a California 1955 PACKARD CARIBBEAN CONVERTIBLE 1 of
500 Built. This California Original Black plate Car is number 461 of 500. As
you may know these cars are very rare this one has never been restored and is in
Original condition with only 66, 778 Original miles. This is a two owner car the
same family has owned this Packard for 40 Years.
This car spent most of its life in a garage indoors in San Francisco
California the Original Packard ignition key is in the ignition. The Original
paint a three-tone color scheme of White Jade, Turquoise, and Gray Pearl is in
good shape for its age. This car was bought from Lee D Butler a Packard dealer
here in Northern California in the 50’s by the Original Owner. The car was then
sold in 1975 and has been in San Francisco since then. The engine runs good.
The Factory
275hp, 352 cubic
inch V8 with Factory Dual Quads is still under the hood.
This Convertible is
unrestored and Rust free. This car will need complete restoration inside and
out. There are some minor dings and a dent on the front bumper. There are
two small holes in the
truck lid from a removed AAA emblem. The horn rim is broken we have an extra
one that goes with this car. An extra wing window assembly goes with this car
as well. The power seat and Power top works good.
There is a small hole in the top the size of a penny. The seats are showing
a lot of wear, the seams are split where they were stitched. This car has been
sitting for many years however it was just driven 90 miles to its new home
in Oakdale CA from San Francisco recently. The transmission seems to be
fine after the car warms up. When the car is cold the Transmission doesn’t
engage very well mainly in reverse.
The power windows all work but there
is one switch on the 4 way that doesn’t work. The passenger window needs some
help when powering it up and down. The chrome has some pitting inside and out.
The Rear Power antennas do not work. The brakes work fine. The tire tread looks
fine, but these are old tires and should be replaced in the near future.
This Packard could very well be one of the last unrestored
Convertibles left and to top it off it’s a true Rust Free California car.
Please don’t let this one pass you by, you may regret it.
