Featuring extra chrome window surrounds giving an elegant hardtop
appearance, this 1953 Packard Clipper Sportster Tribute makes a
strong impression in Silver Blue Metallic. The distinctive
brightwork has received meticulous care and attention throughout
the years, remaining in excellent condition. 15" wheels with spoke
rims complement the classic profile, while 225/75R15 white wall
tires add a period-correct touch. The doors open and close with
precision, showcasing the solid construction that Packard was known
for.
Blue cloth and vinyl adorn the interior of this Clipper, offering a
comfortable environment for driver and passengers alike. The bench
seat provides ample room while maintaining the authentic 1950s
driving position. A painted dash houses the factory gauges that
illuminate clearly at night, with an aftermarket tach mounted
discreetly below. The stock AM radio works as it should,
complementing the cabin's vintage feel. Chrome trim support beams
accent the headliner, adding visual interest to the upper cabin
area.
A 288 cubic inch inline-8 engine sits at the front of this Packard,
running exceptionally smooth and quiet. The 3-speed manual
transmission with electric overdrive delivers power to the rear
wheels through a column-mounted shifter. Power assist steering
makes maneuvering this classic a straightforward affair. Dual
exhaust with glasspack style mufflers provides the appropriate
soundtrack. The push-button start located on the left side of the
dash adds a unique touch to the driving ritual.
