1956 Packard El Camino???

No Reserve: 1956 Packard Clipper Super "Packup" Pickup Conversion for sale on BaT Auctions - ending August 14 (Lot #205,160) | Bring a Trailer

Like they said in Jurassic Park, "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

 

Looks like it weighs a million pounds, but I dig it. That thing is cool.

 

I don't have any historical perspective on Packard model names. What name would be appropriate for this?

(I'm thinking something like the 'Packard Safe Mover'.....because obviously it COULD do that.

 

It's probably a flower truck for a funeral home.

 

There’s a magazine article about it in the link. https://bringatrailer.com/wp-conten...ckard_four-hundred_img_1440-00601.jpeg?w=1214

 

It is cool looking to me also, but if it is not carrying a load of lead in the back get some air shocks and /or heavy duty springs.

 

Kevin, I bet this has the stock Packard load leveling system. It probably hasn't worked since Nixon was president.

 

Sold for USD $12,000 on 8/14/25

 

Awesome. I hope it's new owner enjoys the heck out of it.
