DESCRIPTION

Offered for sale is a 5.6L 1953 Packard Clipper Super Panama automatic. Coming with a partial history file, this lot's condition scores 94/135. Americana in all its post-war glory, a big green 2-door 'Coop'...

 

At the top of the Clipper Super line was the Panama, a handsome hardtop Coupe

Just 3,618 were built at a cost of $2,766. This smart example was imported in 2014

Resprayed a few years ago in its original colours of Galahad Green over Orchard Green

Powered by the smooth straight-eight, 5.6-litre "Thunderbolt" flat-head engine

1950s styling and space abound in the Green Brocade interior

Further detailing and the resolution of a brake issue would return it to its best

Our vendor has replaced all the brake pipes and fitted a new servo

Either way, it's a straight-eight, 5.6-litres of American brawn and will turn heads everywhere
