1953 Packard Deluxe Clipper 4-Door Sedan

The Packard line had been completely redesigned in 1951, which included the introduction of the 200 series at the bottom of the line on a 122-inch wheelbase. In 1953, this same basic design was still in production, but the Packard 200 was renamed the Packard Clipper. Like the Packard 200 that preceded it, the Packard Clipper was available as either a 2-door or 4-door sedan. The standard engine for the Packard Clipper was a 150-horsepower, 288-cubic-inch in-line 8-cylinder engine. The Packard Deluxe Clipper was powered by a 160-horsepower 327-cubic-inch 8-cylinder engine.

This 1953 Packard 4-door sedan was in the Days in the Park Parade in Rainier, Oregon, in July 1996. It appears to be the Deluxe Clipper model.
