Power comes from a Packard V8 paired with the Twin-Ultramatic automatic transmission, feeding through a Rochester 4-Jet 4-barrel carburetor. Notably, 1956 marked Packard’s final full year of Detroit production, making models like the 400 an interesting snapshot of the brand’s engineering direction during its closing chapter.

Additional equipment includes a 2-spoke steering wheel with horn ring, chrome trim and bumpers, the signature cormorant hood ornament, American Classic whitewall tires and 15-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps.

Inside, this Four Hundred features wide bench seating that reflects the comfort-focused design of the era. Interior appointments include manual-crank windows, vent and quarter windows, an analog gauge cluster with clock, a push-button radio, and a fender-mounted antenna, all period-correct details that contribute to the car’s classic feel.

This Packard is offered with a running engine, though it will require additional work to be fully road-ready. That need is reflected in the pricing, making this an appealing opportunity for anyone looking to bring a mid-’50s Packard back into regular driving condition. For $13,500
