1953 Packard Clipper 4-door Original Low Miles 35,030!

1953 Packard Clipper

1953 Packard Clipper 4-door Sedan - Original - Low 35,030 Miles! - $10,600 (negotiable)
I am the third owner of this 64-year-old car. We are selling it only because other cars keep following us home and they can't all stay here. This is a very big car with an unbelievable amount of room inside. The seats are super wide and long, nearly enough room to play basketball in the back seat. This car "really does take you back to 1953" simply because when you look around inside and outside of it, it's the same car that rolled off the assembly line in 1953.
Packard was very confident in their advertising slogan for 1953 ~~ "Ask the man who owns one." Our Packard Clipper is one of a dwindling few Packards left from that year.
