Auto City Classic - Patrician

The Packard Patrician (1951–1956) was Packard's senior sedan flagship — the top of the lineup. Patrician sedans of the early 1950s used Packard's classic straight-eight, while 1955–1956 Patricians introduced Packard's new V8 and the Torsion-Level suspension system (an early production self-leveling torsion-bar setup that was years ahead of its time).
