Brings back memories.

Yeah, I think both Lincoln and Packard had the better models in 1956

A gorgeous car. The engine sounds beautiful as well. Sorry Cadillac, but the 1956 Coupe de Ville could only dream of looking as pretty as the 1956 Packard 400.

I love my 56 Patrician! Thanks for a nice video of a nice car. Mine is in the early stages of restoration, but is registered and road worthy. It is a huge hit at local cruise nights and car shows!

Great looking car. I wonder if Packard wouldn't have been better off if they had stayed independent and hadn't been merging with Studebaker just as they were getting the 55's ready to introduce.

......gorgeous....simply gorgeous. They (55/56's) are rounded, but straight. Not a dowdy early 50's look, but not a rocketship on wheels like most cars looked by 58. The 56 is also a better car mechanically.I have a 55, same color as this one, but I like the full length stainless strip on yours (I considered locating the 56 trim and applying it to mine at one point, but did not.)

The 1956 Packard was one of the best looking cars of the Fifties. It has the best blend of flashiness and reserve. Outstanding innovations, too.

Yes,she is...I was noticing at other Packard videos(this one too)that 56 Packards look a lot like the "redesigned" 57 Mercurys(being Fords with style and class was Mercurys original mission)And that other Packards looked a lot like 57/58 Buicks.

Well... I think they stand alone, and 56 was the last true Packard, the 57 Packard was a merge with Studebaker, and was disasterous in design. This is a Caribbean hardtop, rare, most were convertibles.
