The 53 is an interesting car to be a museum piece.

The color of the upholstery is striking. Is that supposed to be code 504 Maroon Broadcloth which was available in Patricians or someones modern interpretation? To my eye it makes quite a loud statement -- particularly with the gray dash and window garnish. The short section of headliner color between the door panel and rear seat back also looks odd.

Am surprised to see it listed as a CHP cruiser. Even Broderick Crawford wouldn't rate a senior Packard so I'm with DrewLA. If it was a cruiser, CHP must have had lots of money in those days or someone was dreaming.
