The current owner purchased the car in 1986, with 34,000 miles on the odometer. It has recently undergone a complete restoration with the result you see exhibited here.
The Packard Patrician was produced from 1951 through 1954 and then jointly with Studebaker from 1955 through 1956. The first series was the Packard Patrician 400 produced from 1951 through 1952. The '400' was part of Packards numerical naming structure, with the '400' designating the highest trim level available on a Packard.
The Packard 400 had extensive use of chrome trim. In comparison to the other Packard models of this era, it featured four chrome ports, chrome and slightly revised grille, and chrome ports on its rear fenders. The body rested on a 127-inch wheelbase and was powered by Packard's inline eight-cylinder engine.
Production for 1951 and 1952 were low; in 1951 there were 9001 Packard 400 units produced and 3975 examples in the following year. The name '400' was dropped in 1953 and 1954. In the following years there were slight trim changes and improvements.
In 1955 there were 9127 examples of the Patrician produced. The only body style offered was a four-door sedan. Under the direction of Richard Teague, the Packard Patricians were given a modernized grille, rear tail light ensemble, exterior trim, and two- and three-tone paint colors. The windshields were wrap-around.
The following year the headlights were revised which had them extending further, outwards. The areas around the headlights were painted black to further the illusion that they were extruding outwards.
During 1956, a total of 3375 examples of the Patricians were produced. This would be the final year for the Packard/Studebaker Patrician.
