The last real flagship of the famed Packard line, the 1954 model was the last to boast Packard’s straight eight engine before a new V8 was introduced with the 1955 restyle. Just 2,760 found buyers in 1954, showcasing the decline of the Packard marque, which would disappear after 1958.

Is this car still available? If so, what are you asking?
I don’t sell cars, I just take pictures of them on the street.
Hello Professor.
Beautiful photo…truly magnificent.
I own a 1954 Patrician that was repainted black. The repaint phase of restoration is down the road a bit so I’m currently trying to color match without the color plate or production sheet.
Do you happen to know the color of this vehicle?
Do you sell your photographs?
Hi Shannon!
Unfortunately, I don’t know the color of this Packard. I took a quick glance at the factory colors offered for 1954 Packards, and I suspect this car may have been repainted in a non-factory color, given that none of the colors offered seem to match this shade. I don’t sell my photographs, but you can download the full-resolution images for free by clicking on the image first and then right-clicking and saving (if you just right-click and save directly from the homepage, then you’ll download a lower-quality image). I just ask that if you share the photo on a website or such, please credit Roadside Rambler as the source. Thanks!
