Well,

The auction just ended and it went for $6,100. Any of the brethren here buy it?

Hopefully someone bought it so they can flip it, and make lots of money.

No OD auto trans in 56, correct?

Yes, there were overdrive transmission Golden Hawks in 1956. Post #11 shows a reproduction of the production order for this car, note the 'OD Transmission' listed.

There was quite a bit of rot underneath, that's why gas tank was hanging.

Lynn was asking if there were o/d AUTOMATIC transmissions offered in 56J's.....No.

This car has been off and on Craigslist for about 5 years. It was a former complete restoration that was later stored under a tarp outside. It completely rotted underneath.

I would think that the stick o/d setup alone would be worth at least half the selling price to someone singing the 'Packard Twin-Ultramatic Blues'!!

Don't know how I missed it, but just looked closely at that rear underside shot. Ouch.

Way too much work to buy as a flip car. Still, would be a nice one to bring back if you were planning a complete resto anyway.
Best of luck to the new owner.
