We always know when he brings a vehicle for us to sell for him, it will be "ready" and will be an excellent driver. Such is the case with this very cool '54 Packard.

It is powered by new 350 cubic inch General Motors crate motor with a GM 700R Automatic Transmission (overdrive), and it has a ford 9" rear end geared for highway cruising.

The enhancements underneath include disc brakes, dual exhaust, and improved shocks. The Wiring is all new and it is now a 12V system. The chrome bumpers and grill were redone and the stainless steel trim as were most inside pieces including window frames, radio frame, and inside trim. The dash instrumentation is modular (all 12 volt with a quartz clock). All of the window glass is new. and the door handles (in and ouside) are new OEM. The door sill plates were custom made. The wide white eall tires are radials. It is number 2,700 of 2,760 built. It is finished in era appropriate "Packard Ivory" (think pale Yellow) with Forsest Green interior a great '50's choice.
