| Here's another angle of this ride. I had a member inform me of the Formal way to call this Packard. There you go, it is a Derham Formal Sedan. We are use to calling it Limo. By the way, Look up Limousine in the Webster Dictionary. Before purist get panties in abunch those are 54 headlite covers. The 53's are to ugly. Thanks AL |

| This 54 was attempted to be restored by low cost restorers. Under these conditions for 20 (yes) 20 years this car was probably in worst shape after 20 years when we took over. Starting July 2005 12 months Later this car went from zero to hero. Many hours were needed to sort out what had been done and how bad it was done wrong. After much sheet metal work and endless hours searching for missing parts and much TLC this Caribbean is now a constant show winner. This car has been in many shows from invite only concourse to hotrod, vintage, classic. This car has stacked trophy's which include many first in class and best of shows. Not a trailer Queen you have to wash the bug guts off when you arrive for a show. The real deal at #139 of 400. This is the most Photographed car ever driving down the interstate, in town or at a show. A true hero. This car was invited and will be on Horsepower TV. When we have a reunion of Packards with the 53'S I have listed and 54 Pacific and a Mayfair it turns into a time warp. All Packards listed are driven much and are expected to perform correctly.

| 1953 Clipper. This customer wanted a 2007 1953 Packard. This Beautiful four door is a sleeper. Found on a street corner for $3000, it was an ugly duckling. First thought would be part it out or rat rod it. Before you purist get upset remember someone paid alot to save what we now named Grease Lighting. It features Mustang II front suspension, rack and pinion steering, disc brakes. Power comes from a brand new 400HP LS2 For an SSR Chevy Truck nd 4l60e Trans. The shifter remains Packard. Not an easy feat. Front and rear A/C, stock Packard rear.The rules were it had to look dead stock. It has a few extra chrome items added to shine up the junior sedan. Grease Lighting took Best of Show in it's first car show. This car lives for and in the passing lane and gets 22 MPG. This car will be on HorsePower TV. Many pic's available (not for sale).Midsouthern Restorations in Cookeville built this car in 11 months and this was a total frame off. We have designed and sell The perfect stainless steel fuel tank for all 51-56 Packards from this car. We specialize in 50's Packards morganal61@yahoo.com |

| Some folks find it interesting that a full, one-off custom would be built on the 160 chassis yet the explanation is quite direct. Formal broughams on short wheelbases were quite in vogue in that era, and as Packard didn't offer a naked chassis to custom coach builders and given that most of the body and interior would be removed and scrapped, why pay for a 180. |
