Re: Squire's voitures
Yes mate, the penultimate year of production. I prefer the 1956 models but with a car like that beggars can't be choosers, so I had to go and look.

No, it isn't. It's not even really underwhelming.

Re: Squire's voitures
The car had lost just too much of its originality and to say it was a luxury model contained no more gadgets than a BMC Farina. It just didn't grab me. And if it didn't grab me at first sight, I was not prepared to put the money and effort into getting it up to scratch.

Re: Squire's voitures
You can see in every detail and especially the level of equipment that Packard was on its beam ends. They deserved to die. Even a lowly '55 Bel Air gives you more bang for your buck.
As for this particular example, there might have been a fairly good '55 Packard underneath all that Mascara, but to bring it back out would amount to a total restoration in the end, something only a die hard Packard enthusiast will endeavour.

Re: Squire's voitures
I like these, 49/50 Ford. Made cheaply by the hundreds of thousands but such an elegant design. Clean and simple with great proportions and no excess detailing. A tidy four door can't be too much money.....?

Re: Squire's voitures
This is more deserving of 14 grand though - just needs the correct Cibie headlamps fitting.

Re: Squire's voitures
It's not 100% fitting the bill if you're after some yank tat.
