Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1951
Packard 300. This numbers matching original Packard is turn key and
ready to be enjoyed. The Packard 300 was an automobile built and
sold by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan for
model years 1951 and 1952. The 300 represented the upper mid-range
Packard model and provided better appointments than the Packard 200
or the Packard 250 models. The premier Packard offered during these
years was the Packard Patrician 400. For both model years the 300
model was built as a four-door sedan only and was mounted on
Packard's 127-inch wheelbase. The car included the basic trim
appointments found in the 200 and 200 Deluxe model lines and
included tinted windows, a robe rail for backseat passengers and
striped interior fabrics. Exterior trim included full wheel covers
as well as Packard's graceful pelican hood ornament. The 300 also
received a wrap around rear window which it shared with the
Patrician models. Power for the car in both years came from
Packard's venerable Super Eight engine, the 327-cubic-inch
"Thunderbolt" inline eight which was shared with the 250 line. A
three-speed manual shift was standard while Packard's Ultramatic
automatic transmission was offered as optional equipment. In 1953
the 300 was renamed the Packard Cavalier as Packard moved away from
its strict numeric model naming structure. A total of 22,309
Packard 300s were built in the model's two years on the market with
1951's total of 15,309 representing the high sales mark for the 300
model. This cars drivetrain has just over 100k miles and still runs
strong. The miles are even documented on the clean and clear title.
Replacement parts have been installed to keep this car on the road
which include; new gas tank and sending unit, new exhaust system,
new gas filter, replaced generator and radiator. Most of the
original parts come with the car along with receipts. Do not let
