Packard Motor Car Company, founded in 1899, is another jewel of a brand we lost, leaving only its admirable creations to remember them by. Before World War II, Packard was the dominant luxury car manufacturer. Owning a Packard was a status symbol, and surviving specimens can be seen in museums and car exhibitions. Packard was in strong financial shape to proceed with their new car models after turning 100% of their output to a war production to make aviation engines. As a result, a number of sublime Packard models saw the light of day, including the Packard Patrician, which also became the top-shelf Packard for that year. Today we have none other than a 1953 Packard Patrician for sale in outstanding condition in our inventory. Its odometer reads 35,000 miles and it is housed in California. It has been stated that the seller is unsure if it has been rolled over.

Exterior and Interior

This 1953 Packard Patrician has been repainted, the inside has been refurbished, and the chrome has been restored. Its exterior shines in sky blue and topped off with a dark blue roof to go with. The Packard crest can be seen on the front grille while the spelled Packard logo is placed on the rear fender. The whitewall tires certainly serve a classic mien to the car and a spare is also available. The newly renovated interior has blue and gray accents and is large enough for four individuals, five at a pinch. The white steering wheel bears the Packard crest and the emblem spelled “Packard” can be seen again on the glovebox. A vintage radio and a thermostat are located on the center console, and three gauges are located in front of the steering wheel.

Engine

Opening the curvy hood of this 1953 Packard Patrician reveals the original 327 cu (5.4L) engine, which is otherwise known as a straight 8 cylinder engine. Since this car has power steering and brakes, its next owner will be able to enjoy a safe and relaxing classic Sunday cruise if he so desires, with power sent to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
