Beautifully restored at some point in its life and has had little use since. 2. The flathead 6 cylinder purrs like a kitten with an intact appropriately quiet exhaust system. The carburetor was just rebuilt and a new fuel pump installed.3. The interior was exquisitely done very clearly from a high quality custom car experienced upholsterygenius. The headliner is quite notable and done very nicely with a very distinct attention to detail and quality. All the doors and door handles work as they should and all the windows work as they should however the rear driver's passenger window feels like it needs to be lubricated I did not force it but it is connected and does move a little bit up and down but rather than force it somebody needs to take the door panel off and lubricate the mechanism.4.
The suicide doors are cool cool cool and it has all new door seals etc.5. There is some rust on the front bumper pads and also the rear. Some re-chroming recommended on a few pieces where the chrome has started to rust all in all itis in excellent condition.6. It needs a glove box door. Two pieces of chrome trim on the rear fenders seem to be missing. Also it looks like on the trunk there might be some sort of a logo or something that might be missing there.7.
We are working on the brake system and are replacing parts as necessary.8. This is an incredible barn find that is 95% complete and certainly a perfect mini project for a connoisseur who understands and appreciates the quality and value of this vintage machine.Used 1948 DeSoto Custom 22,247 miles

1955 Packard Patrician Sedan Here's what has been done professionally in the past 6 months: (4) new Coker white wall tires All new brakes New brake master cylinder Fuel tank removed, cleaned, sealed ALL new fuel lines (from tank all the way to carb)All new fuel filters New mechanical fuel pump All new spark plugs New wires New distributor New coil New
heavy duty aftermarket starter (original starter included; has since received a fresh rebuild)New ignition (original included)New battery New battery cable(s) Other items worth noting: transmission was replaced with a new GM automatic at the time of the restore.
Motor was also refreshed and is original to the car. The original spare tire is still in the trunk and is included. It's not useable, but impressive it's still there. Mileage is approximate and I doubt it has 20k since restore. Also power steering, power brakes. Original gas and brake pedals. All that being said, the car is not perfect. It has a dent on the passenger front fender. There is some cracking in the lacquer paint near the trunk. The carpet and headliner could use a cleaning or just replace. There is some slight pitting in some of the chrome.

The paint is definitely not perfect, but overall decent condition for being 53 years old.
There is a small dent in the rear bumper. All chrome is present, intact and shiny. The trunk liner is original but needs to be cleaned and re-glued around where the lid closes. The interior is in very good shape. Very minimal ware on the seats. The headliner
is nearly perfect. Here is the updates made by me: -Complete new exhaust from the manifold back including muffler -New spark plugs and wires -New control arms and bushings -New fuel filter -Reset the dwell -Reset the timing -Fluid flush -Alignment and tire balance -New air filter This car was inspected from bumper to bumper.
I was told from the mechanic that " this was the cleanest 53 year old car he's ever seen. The undercarriage has absolutely no rust" The engine and transmission are very sound--no ticking. This car is EXCELLENT on the highway and is very dependable!
