Sharp Fins Sharp Car

I love this man's story, and how his car is tied so much to his past. I still have a car I bought new 25 years ago, and even though it's only a third of the age of this man's car, I totally get the sentimental value; the people that got in the car, the places it's taken me, and the life event I went through during that time. I can only imagine how deeply connected he must be to his car, just like a good old friend.

my late dad had a 55 Packard. What I remember was the comfy rear seats and the rear self leveling shock absorbers. Great memories, thank you so much.

Fantastic automobile and wonderful story to go with it. Truly enjoyed this video. Love old Packard!

[@randyrobey5643]

We had a 1949 Packard and a 1955 400 Packard. My father worked at a Packard dealership. They were/are wonderful cars.

A beautiful swan song from Packard.

[@ClassicChrome86]

That is a very good way to describe it.

Great Video, fantastic Clipper, i have a 56 Clipper Custom Constellation Hardtop Coupe in Red with White top and side flash here in England UK

[@charlesharnois3684]

Simply a beautiful automobile! Love the story, much nicer than the plastic jelly beans we drive now, thanks for your report!

That Road Runner in the background is calling my name

[@snailer06]

You can see it's a Packard from a mile away. The top of the front grill still has Packard's trademark upper shape, a center arch with a short straight section on either side.

Good point. ✔️

IN SOME ASPECTS IT SHARES THE DESIGN OF THE LINCOLN PREMIERE'S OF THE ERA !!! SOLID ROAD CARS !!!

[@FoundonthestreetUSA]

The Packard nameplate on that back trunk was most likely a dealer installed item. I have seen many 56 Clippers that don't have the Packard nameplates on the trunk lid. Clipper was a distinct "make" for 1956. Clipper actually outsold Packard for 56. Three Clipper models were produced: Deluxe, Custom and Super Panama. The creation of a separate "make" was part of James Nance's plan to created three car divisions and use one platform in order to realize the merger business case and create a Big-3 like product line model for S-P Corp. This whole name issue is very similar to Chrysler and Imperial confusion.

This is an old clip(pun intended). I wonder if that gentleman is still alive? I really enjoy his demeanor.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

This was shot in June 2024 and the owner is doing quite well.

[@asimplehorseman4648]

@@MyClassicCarTV Ha!, silly me. Guess my chronometer needs calibrating.

We have seen this car

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Supposedly the new Jeep Wagoner doesn’t say “JEEP” anywhere on it. To separate the off-road image from luxury.

[@paulhammons7077]

It's ah sad day 😢.

[@danf321]

I believe, from what I’ve seen, the “Jeep” only says Grand Wagoner. And it’s huge, like a Suburban.
