under cover in the PNW. Asking price for this complete car was $3500, if memory
serves. I passed.

Car was "not for sale" and the owner refused my offer to build a shed over it.

before Mark found it, I toured this private collection (covered 100 acres) of old junkers and
took these pix. I believe this was 1987.

Location: DFW, TX		This '56 Fireflite sedan has been near my house for years. It's owned by the guy that runs the service station. He says he's going to restore it. The seats have been recovered and he removed the steering wheel to restore it, but otherwise it has just sat... and sat... and sat. It was a very nice car the first time I saw it, but it i's really starting to get run down.

Location: Parts Unknown		Spotted this all black 1955 Packard 400 coupe recently. Apparently a genuine barn find, it
wears the really old license plates that were obsoleted in 1958 in Washington, and judging by
the condition, these are originals. That means this car has not been on the road since 1958 !

Location: Parts Unknown		For whatever reason, Chevy stylists put the best looking 2-tone scheme on their cheapest
model in 1957 - the "150". Available only as a 2 or 4 door sedan, they largely served as
parts cars for the more upline models, much like Forward Look guys have done with lower
model Mopars.

I would lose the wheels and perhaps give it a more period correct paint, but this is the ONE
57 Chevy I could own.

Location: NY & VT		Many '55 and 56 Packards were traded, mothballed, or junked relatively early on:

1.) because of the demise of the company, in reality in '56, the name itself in '58, and S/P Corp in '66... but

2.) even more so because of the trouble-prone Ultramatic, TorsionAire suspension, and oil starved V8s, all of these were highly advanced but also highly problematic from the get-go, due to their under-development resulting from the company's cash starved situation.

Always felt '55/6 Packards to be flawed masterpieces. It's been said the '56 Lincoln Premiere was a '56 Packard without all the problems, the styling was so similar. There was actually a proposal within the failing Packard's management group that Lincoln, instead of Studebaker, produce the '57 Packards... drawings were even made. That would have been one awesome automobile.

Glad to see this 400 rejuvenated, we've had 2 '56s, and would not mind another, one that's been well sorted out.

5000500050005000200050025
Location: Parts Unknown		Agreed. It seems to this observer that Packard had momentarily retouched upon that
design finesse that their high end early 30's cars had in the 56 Caribbean and 400. The
55's blunter face doesn't quite work for me, but when they curled over those headlight
pockets, it was golden.

It is a shame Packard was too weak to pull it off entirely, but kind of like DeSoto's demise,
the time had come for them to leave the scene, rather than lumber on building the garbage
that was to come. A 1971 Packard is not a good vision to try and conjure up. Even worse,
a 2014 Packard luxury SUV.

DeSoto had the good fortune to "die with their fins on", and although Packard's end was
not quite so dramatic, they did make some neat cars at the end. Kind of an upturn in body
design (at least) from their 1946-54 offerings that weren't too eyecatching against the rest
of the industry. I passed on TWO Caribbean ragtops in the early 80's (seemed WAY too
expensive at around $5K each ! ) that I sure wish I had now !

Location: DFW, TX		We went to a Packard hoarder's place to pick up a "well-worn" '55 two door hardtop just for its side trim. My dad's boss was restoring one at the time and there are certain parts that are complete unobtanium.

He had about thirty postwar Packards, most of which were old man cars but some were absolutely spectacular. I was particularly impressed with some mid-50s Packard 400 models. I really liked the way the name was spelled out on the beltline trim. That was a very cool car. However, it is hard enough to restore a '50s Mopar, I can't imagine trying to deal with a Packard!

Location: Parts Unknown		The shop doing my Plaza has a 56 Caribbean convertible in there being restored. They really pull
off that static presence that those monster 30's luxury cars did. but on a 50's "canvas". An over-the-
top styling that somehow still captures that conservative "air". A rare moment, indeed.

Location: NY & VT		Yes the '56 Packards in particular had a real presence; that '56 front end to me always evoked a locomotive... all the more amazing in that due to very limited funds Dick Teague had to do a facelift on the rather boring looking John Rinehart designed 51-54 model, mainly at the front and rear, keeping the high belt-line and basic body overall of the '54s, known as the "high pockets" body, but what he did with what little he had to work with was true testament to his ability... alas, it was not enough.

Packard guys call that wide aluminum trim on the Patricians "Reynolds wrap" and it is indeed hard to find in good original condition. When they were testing the first prototypes on the track in '54 they had none of that trim, just a single narrow stainless strip, front to back, and it looked very classy imo, but they went with the maximum flash.

Restoring a 55/56 Packard has to be a true labor of love. All kinds of mods to the engine (such as adapting an Olds 455 oil pump, requiring considerable machining), auto trans mods, frequent work on the electrically controlled solenoids of the push button Ultramatic to keep them reliable, the electric motor of the pre-loading system of the F & R torsion bars... on and on. It proved too much, for me at least.
It was actually a big relief to come back to having to completely restore my Windsor!!

nice original. The 1960 Invicta was my first finned car and I have a real soft spot for the
styling still.

In fact, I have its original license plate frames from Oyler-Howard Buick Pontiac in Pendleton, Oregon, a dealer I was familiar with back in the 1970's.

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA		I worked on an Electra throughout the early 1990s. I was driving a 58 Plymouth club coupe at the time, and I found it interesting how much heavier and more substantial the Buick was. And not in a good way. It was 1,000 lbs heavier. It seemed overly complicated, and it had this weird feature-- when you stepped on the gas pedal, it would automatically start. Only sometimes, it also caught fire. Anyway, Consumer Reports makes some comparisons to the Forward Looks, here:

"1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors

by the Auto Editors of Consumer Guide

"Buick billed the 1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors as the best of the "Buicks so new even the names had to be new!" The '59s were a sharp break with Flint's recent past -- along with other '59 GM cars, which comprised a hasty response to Chrysler's instant-hit '57s.

"The Buicks were longer, wider, and much lower, but also shapelier and less glittery. Hardtops had Chrysler-like thin-section rooflines, and Buick's huge canted tailfins were tasteful, if startling. The latter were rounded off on the clumsier-looking '60s.

"Invicta picked up from Century as the "hot Buick"; Electra/Electra 225 were what Roadmaster/ Limited had been. Engineering advances ran to a lower-riding K-brace frame (ousting the '57-vintage X-member affair), a V-8 enlarged to 401 cubes (low-line LeSabres retained a 364), and two '58 options: "Flight-Pitch" or Triple-Turbine Dynaflow automatic (an alternate to the Twin-Turbine unit standard on Invicta/ Electra) and "Air Poise" suspension, a troublesome $188 extra that vanished after 1960.

"Models not included here have also begun rising in collector esteem, but we think these two-doors have better investment potential.

"Pluses of the 1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors:

Wild '59 styling epitomizes tailfin era
Smooth, no-sweat performance
Comfy
Still very affordable
Low original production of some models

"Minuses of the 1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors:

Big, clumsy, and thirsty
Workmanship way down from mid-'50s Buicks
Hammed-up '60 styling
Not considered "great" Buicks

"Production of the 1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors:

1959: Invicta htp cpe 11,451; conv 5,447; Electra htp cpe 11,216; Electra 225 conv 5,493
1960: Invicta htp cpe 8,960; conv 5,236; Electra htp cpe 7,416; Electra 225 conv 6,746

Specifications of the 1959-1960 Buick Electra & Invicta 2-Doors:
Wheelbase, inches: 123.0 (Invicta), 126.3 (Electras)
Length, inches: 217.4/217.9 (1959/60 Invicta), 220.6/221.2 (Electra), 225.4/225.9 (Electra 225)

Location: Parts Unknown		My area is still full of old cars, and it was always my intention to try and make up for all the
great old cars I DID NOT take pictures of back in the day, by capturing those still to be seen
and posting them here, in a format like "Car Spotting" in Collectible Automobile.

Here are a few more I stumbled onto yesterday.

The first looks like a Dodge. It is from the Keller years, but I really don't know what year.

The second shows a forgotten finned Rambler wagon and a 1st gen Mustang against the
bright fall colors.

From a shop near DC.
No worries, all these are in really good hands and a bunch of their parts are in many other FL cars out there....
A few are in mine, and maybe some are in yours.

Location: Parts Unknown		I see these a lot .... unknown car bodies left out in the middle of nowhere. Looks to be a
late 30's something-or-other ...

Makes me wonder how they end up where they do.
