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.
