I’m a 64 year young radio and mobile dj and car collector fanatic. The remarks on the ‘58 Packard Wagon don’t tell the whole story. For having no money to retool, the style to me is fantastic.
And with just 158 built and probably only 40 surviving, fans will be interested to know that a ‘58 Packard/Stud wagon recently shown completely restored at a southeast Michigan Concour D’Elegance was valued by the folks at Mecum and Barret Jackson the prestigious collector car auction guys, at $100,000 and the cars has standing offers from 4 collectors to sell at that price.
So whose laughing now? To me 57 through 59 American cars of all makes were works of art, with the 57’s and 59’s at the top, and 58’s one of a kind unique across all product lines. The Packard even when merged with Studebaker was a breathtaking iconic tremendous car, each of them driven 12 miles and everything meticulously tweaked before odometers were put in and they were shipped. THAT’S quality. I’d give my left u know what for a conditon #2 1958 Packard Wagon!

Thanks! I needed a chance to peak at the new cars on a 1962 showroom floor. Saginaw, MI had an identical building, I don’t remember what dealer was there then, but it sold OK used cars in addition to new cars. By 1972 it was an AMC dealer.

I was looking through a February 1935 issue of Motor I found in a barn, when I came across an article about this vehicle - so I did a search and wound up here. Super cool vehicle! Wouldn’t it be wild to find number 6 packed away and forgotten in a barn one day?
