1956 Packard Patrician 4 door sedan

Description

The last year for the BIG Packards. Packard limped along for another two years as a poorly disguised Studebaker. What a sad ending for what was truly a Patrician among the Plebian rabble! Ultramatic was an advanced automatic transmission that had a lockup feature in top gear. That was way before the rest of the automotive world had it. I still remember watching TV at the time...Packard was the sponsor of a great lady singer. Unfortunately I don't remember her name. However, she announced the merger between Studebaker and Packard, and she insisted that things would always remain the same for Packard..producing the same fine cars! Little did she know what awaited.
