The '51 "Patrition" looks like a nice car but the interior is incorrect (are those seat covers?) and the hood ornament is off of a '52.

'49 Pakard sudan. Well, I can forgive the poster for misspelling Packard, but Sudan is a country in Africa. A sedan is a type of automobile. I see good street rod potential here, though it would be nice if someone restored it to original as bathtub club sedans are so rare.

Love the '58 hardtop even though I usually don't go for the Packardbakers. The combination of the dark top over the light body looks really sharp. A rare car that would be great for cruise nights.

Somebody really butchered the rear wheel openings on the '53 Convertible. Not sure what they were aiming to do (a Caribbean conversion?) but this is going to be a nightmare to correct. You would probably have to find a rust-free club sedan parts car and cut sections out of it. My hat is certainly off to you if you can pull this off.

The red '53 Clipper is a real mishmash of parts. It has a '51 200 grille, a '51 cormorant hood ornament and has a horrible incorrect interior. Red velour? Is this the 70's? Don't like the candy apple red paint job either. Predict this one will be for sale for a long, long time.

Love the 1933 Phaeton. Have seen this ad before. Car has been for sale for months. Think it was on Ebay not long ago. Wish I could afford something like this.

I suppose that if you have a rough 22nd series small series sedan, street rodding might be your only viable option. There are enough nice ones out there that there is probably no point in attempting a total restoration on a Number 5 car.

What is living in the glove compartment of that '53 Clipper??
