Recently pulled from a garage that it has been hiding in for the past 20 years, this elegant classic has come out to see some sun and possibly a new owner. Behold, a 1955 Packard Four Hundred 2-door coupe that surprisingly runs and drives despite it sitting for so long.

Now we’re not saying this is a great thing as it is generally not good to try and drive a car with the same fluids and components that have aged and deteriorated from not moving. Complete with power assist brakes and power steering, the Packard is in great shape for its age.

Claimed to be all original, the Packard is stuffed with a 352 cubic-inch V8 mill and even has a hydraulic front end that lifts. To keep the interior pristine, the owner even wrapped the seats with plastic covers, which are still on, thus preserving the original interior option on the vehicle.

All of the electrical components function except for the fuel gauge and windshield wipers, which are an easy fix. In addition, all of the lights on both the interior and exterior function properly, but can always be updated to revitalize the aging classic.

With no signs of rust on the exterior or interior, this car been taken care of thoroughly. With it being a complete car and all-original, where can you go wrong with this Packard? Maybe we’d like to take a look under all the beauty up top, but for what we see, this car is simply beautiful and in immaculate shape.

What would be your first order of business with this Packard? Is it worth investing into or just leaving it the way it is? Be sure to share your thoughts below.
