1958 packard hardtop

[cruiser]

There looks to be a 'good' one of these cars on Ebay right now

Just look at the 'Packard' car listing . The car seems to be in long
term storage . It sure looks nice and complete to me and at only
$2,000 'buy it now' , represents pretty good value even in these
troubled economic times . These cars are few and far between.
And being number '626' , is one of the last 50 built !

We've seen this car here a time or two before. Bummer they still have not gotten it out of that garage for better pictures. I oughtta buy it- then I'd have a matched set- a sedan and a hardtop!!!

If I had it I would take the front clip and fins off. Put a 51 front clip and 52 tail lights on it. And I would bet that somebody's uncle had one just like it.

If you could graft a 53 nose and tail it might look like this.

how in the world did you know my uncle had one just like that???

after looking at "fatboy's" pic, i started thinking about other clips - but no, it looks right the way it is!!!

it's not like there's a surplus of '58 hardtops...

Any response from the seller yet?

'58 Packards are just right the way they are. Changing anything at all would take away from the Ultimate in Gaudiness.

PHEW, I can just smell that damp, moldy tomb. And, see it on the interior. Wear a mask if you go in there

The LR quarter looks to be filled with bondo. Still might not be bad, but I would have to see what the frame and bottom of the body looked like.

[rockne10]

Agree, Bob. All that mold impressed me most.
May be a worthy project but...not for me.

Cleo would like a word with you...

it closed for $2K, so someone got a sweet deal on a rare car.

Well- that was the 'buy it now' amount. I agree- even if the frame was rotten it'll make for a good parts car if nothing else.
