1953 Packard Clipper Resto-mod

Description for Packard 1953

This car was built as a True Gentleman's Cruising car with the most modern creature comforts. This car is amazing to look at and drive. Thisis vehicle isout of a collection of Packards from the 50's.Soon the others will also be for sale in the near future!!. GET Ready!!

This car was custom built for a customer to have a perfect family classic cruiser. This car sports dual A/C, ustang II power rack and pinion steering. A 2005 LSII schedualed to go into a 2005 SSR Chevy Truck but never made it. The motor was purchased brand new has well has the 4L60 -E. The combo was complete down to the twin cat convertors. The original steering column and shifter are used and works perfect. The fuel tank was custom built by Rock Valley Tanks and is Stainless with in board fuel pump. The stock Packard rear drive was rebuilt and retained has the gearing was very cloes to the SSR truck ratio. There is no short falls on this car. It is a beautifull example of classic Packards from that time period.

The body is very straight and rust free. The car was 100 % dismantled, lasted and repaired of any rust. The stock chassis was modified for new drive train combo then disassembled and blasted, rimed and painted.

Now lets talk chrome. There is alot chrome on this car and from Packards in 1950 through 1955. It is loaded with every Senior series piece that was found. All chrome work was replated and even the Stainless Steel trim was chrome plated to give that extra gleam we love. The interior window cranks are NOS units from a senior series car and made to touch and the windows go up and down electrically. The stock guages were sent away and full set of electric gauges were built to keep track of the motor. The stereo/ radio was custom built for the Packard dimensions and had the packard name silk screen on so the original type look would be retained.

When I put this car on here before I received feed back about it being a four door. This is one four door I personally love driving and everyone that has seen it in person and rode in it agrees it is just to cool. How many four door $60,000 - $80,000 trucks are there that get sold everyday. Everyone loves four door trucks.

This carloves 75 MPH and will go way beyond. It is has comfortable or more so than many new cars and get 23 MPG. I could see this car being driven and enjoyed to any National Packard Meet and probably win a custom class. While the rest of the contestants and loading up theirtrailer queensin car trailers and hoping in thefour door pulling trucks, ou can hop in crank up the twin A/C and crank up the tunes and drive home.
