The Packard in question is a 1953 Henney built long wheel base formal eight passenger model. The cars were built in at the Henney plant in at Freeport Ill. These models came on a new chassis of 149 inch wheelbase and were available to all Packard dealers on special order basis. The side trim on these Henney formals was the side trim used on the 1953 Cavaliers. The rear roof section used on these Henney Packard's came from the 1953 Packard Clipper two door Club Sedan. To end the story 100 of these were built by Henney.

One last note the body style number for this car is listed as 2651.
