Only remarke that I could think of.................WOW ! What A HI opening bid!!! Wasted money on such a beautifull car. (close the gate)
Looks nice but the top seems to fit poorly and the upholstery is somewhat wrinkled on the side, maybe that's normal??? Avantilover
1) They should have cleaned the rust on the hump inside the trunk before they painted it.
2) It also looks like there's something "wrong" with the paint around the driver's side fender vent. I won't even mention the paint on the fender that they pointed out!
3) The top looks loose and sloppy at the rear side window...it'll flap in the breeze!
4) Should it have "vinyl" interior? The pass side seat bottom looks loose and sloppy and the tonneau cover for the top doesn't look like it has any hold-downs inside the back seat area. It's gonna flop loose and flap in the breeze, too!
5) Close the gate! :)
Nice loking car...but $30K starting bid with a BIN over $45K??? I need some of what they're taking!
Bob ( I DO like the color and the eng> At that price they should have repaired the blemish on the front fender
Nice car but too many things wrong with it for that kind of money. Jim Turner's is nicer and his is a Commander.

Anyone notice the two identical dogs on opposite sides of the front view? Looks photoshopped to me. Also - why the big gap in carpet pieces on the pasenger side?
I'd say if it brings the Buy-It-Now, Jim Turner's will be on e-bay next week with a $60,000 BIN! BP
I could of done a better job on the interior with my wife's sewing machine.
damn right on that one! But, I'll offer it "pre eBay" for a N Grouper, at a mere $55K BOSEG! Bob, you want first shot? I'll even deliver it to you and not ask for a ride home! For that price, I'll fill the tank!
Jim (ducking) Turner
Your Commander would be a much better car than the 52 Champion w/ auto. I have a friend with a red, street rodded '51 Cmampion in comparable condition for about 30K Much better-looking to this bullet nose lover.

58 Packard Hawk 40 President 39 Coupe Exp. 59 DeLuxe 1/2 tn. 56 Packard "400"I've always liked the "transition year" cars, like the '41 and '52. I drooled for months over a 'green '53 conv in fair shape near my house back in the early 1970s. I'd take that car over this and get it done right.
I didn't even notice the dogs, but wonder if this fits the description.
Maybe Pat D can check it out.
