This car has the Ultramatic automatic transmission engineered and produced by Packard still. The Packard Motor Car Company's trademarked automatic transmission, Ultramatic, was introduced in 1949 and produced until 1956. From 1949 to 1954, it was produced at Packard's Detroit, Michigan, East Grand Boulevard factory. From late 1954 to 1956, it was produced at the new Packard "Utica" facility in Utica, Michigan. the Ultramatic Drive was replaced by Borg-Warner's Flightomatic transmission, beginning in the 1957 model year. This powertrain combination would also be used on the 1957 and 1958 Packard ranges of Studebaker-based models, in lieu of the Packard V8 and Ultramatic.

If they're steering is original then it is likely Bakelite , If it is restored Then it may be a urethane plastic. #Aztec73

We are unsure what version of the wheel this is. Being original or recast. Is there a way to identify a Banelite wheel rim vs a Urethane recast?

@classicperformance I don't know, if so I'd imagine that it would be difficult.

The EFI Aluminator is much more drivable and predictable on the street and track. But yes, a true FE 427 Tunnel would be spectacular.

Bought a 98 dually 454 with NV4500 few years back. 70k miles on it now. Haul wood in the winter, tow camper in the summer. If you have one of these go ahead and save yourself the trouble and replace ALL brake lines with new ones. They are notorious for rusting and splitting, especially at this age. Great video, thanks!

The major markets of Europe, Great Britain, America and Japan shaped and dictated high end automobiles for the decade before and after this car and then beyond .....each country did things their own many but the cross pollination of ideas and admiration was there....the purity and focus of purpose is a result of the pre-tech time period.....but it is now seen as the sweet spot of driver focused production

The car that was supposed to have it all. It was supposed to put The Cobra and Carrol Shelby out of business. The numbers were supposed to be impressive, but they were never verified. And how many major races did it win, zero. Great expectations were never realized. Personally, I thought it just looked way out of proportion, and unfinished.
