Truly Outstanding 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe Survivor
New to our Benicia showroom is this beautiful 1954 Packard Clipper
Deluxe 4 Door Sedan with Maroon exterior paint and a grey cloth
interior. You'll find a factory correct 327 flathead straight eight
engine under the hood with a three speed overdrive manual
transmission and this incredible classic is nearly 100% original
from bumper to bumper. With excellent curb appeal and outstanding
ride quality, this is survivor would make an outstanding addition
to any collection.
Virtually 100% Original
This 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe Sedan sold new to a dairy farmer
in Ohio- it was originally black in color without the current
fender skirts. They enjoyed this classic for several years before
eventually garaging it in 1960, which is where it remained until
their death over a decade later. It then sold at auction to a pair
of Ohio Highway Patrol Officers who would occasionally drive it in
parades. A 3rd owner took possession in 1999 and made several
improvements, such as repainting it to the current Maroon, which is
a Packard correct color and adding the fender skirts, re-coring the
radiator, plus rebuilding the water pump, brakes, wheel bearings
and exhaust. The 4th and current owner took possession in 2009 and
added leaf springs, an overdrive unit, new brakes, an electric fuel
pump, a coolant overflow, the headlight switch plus rebuilt the
carburetor, brake cable and starter solenoid.
In terms of its present condition, this 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe
shows average levels of wear to the exterior paint with a few minor
dings and scratches. To the best of our knowledge, this classic
hasn't been repainted since the late 90's so the exterior is
excellent under the circumstances with impressive chrome and
average trim. The virtually 100% original engine bay is super clean
as well and it shows that the major mechanicals have not been
restored. You'll also find an average quality interior with some
minor flaws but nothing that really detracts from this true
survivor overall.
Excellent Lifetime History & Superior Ride Quality
Overall, this 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe 4 Door Sedan is a simply
beautiful survivor that doesn't leave too many question marks since
we know its entire 65 year history. With excellent curb appeal,
great overall drive quality and too many other intangibles to list,
this is an amazing classic that one lucky collector is going to
absolutely fall in love with. For more information about this
