You completely overlooked something that only appeared on the senior 1955-56 Packards. The revolutionary Torsion Level suspension with two torsion bars tieing the front and rear wheels together and replacing coil, leaf spring, air bag suspensions at all times. A shorter, separate pair of torsion bars at the rear keep the car level at all times and height adjusted for loading of passengers and trunk luggage.
if that level right is not working, might that explain why the nose seems to sit low ?? I'm going tomorrow to see one (1-12-24), actually, I bought it.
@@kubeckjay1137 Good ! BTW, 1-12 was a complete waste of time and money. Car was not running, torsion system not working, seller was 15-20 min late. My navigator missed a freaking turn and we ended up in Virginia ! oh well, enjoy your ride. 🙂
@@DanTheManIOM I hope yours runs because I'm selling mine. What I once thought was to be a dream turned into a nightmare. I know where to get all the parts and everything involved but Im now in college no longer a junior in highschool and have long since regretted my decision. If it runs you are extremely lucky if it doesn't best of luck to you.
That was a car from the 1950's that was overlooked by buyers. It is so appreciated now however. Made too well. Beautiful car. Shitty demo dude. Look at the steering wheel way out of alignment

...and in this car, it's not operating properly.

Very poor introduction. He needs to know his shit
@@DanTheManIOM I didn’t buy my 1955 Patrician. My parents bought it new in 1955 and I took title in 1969!

Beauty. Off center steering while driving makes me crazy.
This car is flawlessly beautiful!
Trunk lock is from a 1956 Clipper!!!
Good catch
It's powered by a 374. Beautiful car, but some real problems. The rear end is sagging badly.
You're right. That'll be big bucks to fix IF anybody who knows how to fix the torsion bar suspension is still alive.
There are no brake calibers , it's shoes /drums
Great footage 🎥🎬 Of that dashboard 🇺🇸♥️‼️😎♦️♦️♦️👍‼️
The suspension needs attention. In proper working order the car would be level.
Correction, the transmission was in use from 1948 thru 1958.
Wikipedia has a nice article under "Packard Ultramatic".
Hi of course it's comfortable..
It's wonderful car. USA..
بالطبع سيارة جميلة و رائعة وفخمة.
لأنها أميركية...
I never hear before abaut name of this very very supprive but I m enjoy the video when you drive it
Perfecto gracias por mostrar estas bellezas ❤😂.
Correction: 1956 Patrician: The engine is a 374 cubic inches V8 rated at 290 HP.
Very nice there.
Dwight Heinmuller has the identical inside rear view mirror.
Like and subscribe. What a beautiful nice classic car! Looks great. Peace and love from Ukraine! 💙💛
The old saying is that if it ain’t broke Don’t Fix It!
376, 379, whatever it takes...
Very close in design to a 1955-1956 Mercury, but not quite as stylish. They certainly had their day.
Car is not level. Torsion Level system may need work.
The white walls are too wide. I saw them when new.

2 speed transmission, not 3 speed
