Packard, once a prominent American automotive manufacturer, has largely receded into obscurity. From 1899 to 1954, Packard operated as an independent automaker, but financial struggles eventually led to a merger with Studebaker in 1954. By 1962, the Packard nameplate had vanished from the American automotive landscape. However, examples like this 1957 Packard Clipper serve as reminders of Packard's legacy. Meticulously restored with the odometer reading just below 26,000 miles, this sedan showcases the elegance and charm of the era soaring 50's era.
The 1957 Packard Clipper underwent a thorough repaint in 2017, preserving its original copper and white two-tone color scheme. The result is a four-door sedan with a captivating appearance, featuring pristine chrome details and distinctive badging. Chrome hubcaps, copper accents, and whitewall tires adorn the wheels, while even the valve dust caps have been color-coordinated, demonstrating the meticulous restoration work. The car boasts new signals and lights, chrome drip moldings, a dual exhaust system, and front bumper guards. Inside the cabin, the gray and cream interior accommodates up to five adults across two bench seats equipped with lap belts for safety. While the interior retains much of its original charm, an aftermarket head unit with Bluetooth capabilities has been discreetly integrated into the illuminated glovebox for modern music convenience. The car exudes old-school appeal with its art deco-styled dash, slender-rimmed two-spoke Deluxe Safety Cones steering wheel, and column-mounted chrome gear shifter. The electronic clock ensures accurate timekeeping.
Powering the 1957 Packard Clipper is a 289ci Studebaker V8 engine with a Stromberg 2-barrel carburetor and a factory McCulloch supercharger, which is rare for the time. This engine, boasting approximately 275 horsepower, delivers its output to the rear wheels through a 3-Speed Flight-O-Matic automatic transmission. Recent improvements include new brakes and a new battery, enhancing the car's reliability and performance.

Back in the golden age of motoring, driving a Packard told the world that you were a discerning driver. The company was known for its luxurious offerings. Before the war, they had competed with Cadillac for being known as the pinnacle of American luxury. The Packard name has long stood for quality and luxury, with the company carving out a niche for themselves in the upmarket car game. This 1948 Packard DeLuxe Eight Sedan was part of the Packard lineup during the post-World War II era. The Sedan featured a streamlined design language typical of other luxury sedans of the era. Inside, there was copious space, with rear-seat comfort and luggage capacity two key design factors. Our featured car is powered by a 288ci inline-8 engine and is reported as an all-original example.
While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
Cadillac’s Series 62 range of cars is one of the most iconic designs of the 1950s. This generation of Series 62 came in a variety of body styles, including hardtop, sedan, and convertible variants. The convertible is perhaps one of the most sought-after configurations today, and for good reason. It makes a statement wherever you go and was adored by the rich and famous of the era. While these cars proved popular with the elite, finding an original condition example with low mileage would be a tough ask today. However, our featured car is just that, reported as mostly original and featuring an owner-reported mileage of just 27,000.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
