| Location: Aumsville, OregonVIN #: 5587-5529Mileage: 59,375 originalTransmission: AutoCondition: Good VintageExterior: Fire Opal and White JadeInterior: Red/White Leather & Black Metallic Cloth.We bought this car in 1989 and believe to be the 3rd owner of this car which appear to have always been in Oregon. We have always kept it in the Garage and haven't done any major repairs on this car. It was working fine till 2015 then we got too busy to drive it around. Didn't start this year so we brought it to our mechanic who cleaned the distributor, installed a new ignition coil and repair some wiring. It cranks, have sparks but needs the carburetor to be rebuild and the fuel pump and tank needs to be cleaned for it to be running as new. It needs an owner that will take good care of the beauty she is.Highlights:Highly Original Survivor1 of only 7,206 produced in 1955Solid Rust-Free Oregon CarOriginal Interior and ChromeTwo-Tone Fire Opal and White Jade PaintFactory Tri-Tone Interior Combination of Red, White and BlackOriginal 374ci V8 w/Ultramatic TransmissionVery Clean Driver Quality CarWide White Wall TiresEtc...Overview Of Entire Vehicle: This is a 1955 Packard 400 2-Door Hardtop in highly original condition throughout. The body is solid as a rock with super straight sides and appears to be totally rust-free. This car appears to be a true survivor with only 59k miles which we believe to be original. It appears to have mostly original paint with a few touch ups here and there over the years. The interior is pretty much all original. The carpet will need to be replaced because it got wet and we never noticed until few months later ( water got in trough the driver's door. Seems not to be sealing fine) we think it is not draining the water away ).Under the hood appears to be all original with its original drive train which includes a 374ci V8 engine and Ultramatic automatic transmission. This car has beautiful original chrome and trim throughout. This is a highly desirable car with a low production of only 7,206 ever built in 1955.Options/Equipment:374ci V8 EngineUltramatic Automatic TransmissionFire Opal and White Jade ExteriorRed & White Leather w/Black Cloth InteriorPower SteeringPower BrakesPower WindowsPower SeatPower AntennaWire Wheel HubcapsAM RadioPackard Running LightsPassenger Side MirrorWide White Wall Coker Bias-Ply TiresAutomatic Leveling Rear SuspensionRear Window DefrosterEtc...Exterior:Since we got this car, we did not do any work on the exterior. We are not sure if the white opal color or the red is original. The white paint peeled off in some spot and have some patches/touch up and scratches; the hard top have some dark spot that started appearing in the last 8 years. The car appears to have all its original chrome and trim which again is in good condition. It has all its emblems. the Packard lettering is good. The drivers and passenger glass each has a crack in the glass. All glasses appears to be all original. The car is sitting on Packard wheel hubcaps wrapped in Coker tires. There is a dent on the drivers side headlight. Also the trunk locks perfectly. The roof has some light light crazing on the side . We mostly kept in our garage and is overall it is an amazing presentation for what we believe to be an original survivor.Interior:Since we got this car, we did not do any work on the interior. The interior in the car appears to be all original and in good condition except for the carpet which appears to have been replaced. The driver's seat has a tear. We believe it is a factory tri-tone red and white leather with black metallic fabric interior that is still soft and pliable showing its great storage and care. All the door panels are very nice, the dash pad looks amazing, and the steering wheel is excellent with no cracks at all. All the trim in the interior are intact. It appears to have all original weatherstripping and the sill plates which might need to be replaced. The headliner is in excellent condition and overall the interior has survived the times. Everything in the car works including except for the antenna which need attention. Inside the the glove box is clean with the original glove box liner. Inside the trunk is clean and appear to be original with a spare tire and might need the original seal changed.Mechanically:It was driving fine till 2015 then we got too busy to drive it around. Didn't start this year so we brought it to our mechanic who cleaned the distributor, installed a new ignition coil and repair some wiring. It cranks, have sparks but needs the carburetor to be rebuild and the fuel pump and tank needs to be cleaned for it to be running as new. It needs an owner that will take good care of the beauty she is.The underside of this car is very clean, solid and rust-free with what appears to be factory undercoating from 1955. There is no sign of rust, has all its original sheet metal underneath and is just nice and original. The exhaust system is good, the mufflers look good.Contact Us:If you have any additional questions please call us at 503- 851-5057.
