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

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
