senior line of Packards received an extensive design update that
freshened the last restyling that was done in 1951. Under designer
Dick Teague, the Senior Packards received a more modern grille
design, "Cathedral"-styled rear tail lights, hooded headlight
housings and a new exterior trim layout that afforded Packard the
ability to offer two- and three-tone paint combinations with the
simplest of masking patterns. While Packard could not afford a
whole new greenhouse for the passenger compartment, new trim at the
base of the rear pillar made it look like it had a redesigned
roofline. The cars were also outfitted with a wrap-around
windshield, thus bringing it in line with American automobiles of
the era. Inside, upholstery and bright work was also freshened and
the cars received a new dashboard layout. 1955 and 1956 instruments
and controls were similar, but the 1955 dash featured a warm,
bronze-like surface, and in 1956 were faced with a machined-look
stainless steel facing.
