VIN: 55875650

Seller’s Description: We discovered this cool California Packard on Craigslist in So Cal. During the 3 days between calling (and calling and emailing even more) and visiting we were hoping NOT to see it show up on Barn Finds. The seller was already getting hammered and even more wasn’t going to help our chances. So we held our breath and finally got an invite to come out. We found a 90% done restoration that appeared to have sat for at least ten years but that had been done to a high standard. She was gorgeous! She was leaky, bad tires and no brakes, Gorgeous. Solid and rust-free gorgeous. We paid the seller’s asking price on the spot and (as we like to do) invited him to come to take the car for a cruise when it was running. He was pretty happy to see the videos. We hope to see the family before they move out of CA.

After a careful restart, massaging of the brakes and fuel systems along with fresh rubber, She’s back in fine shape and is a joy to drive.

(Your guys write-ups are always awesome – You’ll find more details on the technical stuff in the eBay ad). Adding a couple of the “as found” garage photos. There wasn’t a speck of dust on the car.
