It is difficult to evaluate 1951 styling with 2013 eyes. This fellow has not recently looked at the 1951 GM and Chrysler Corp. offerings. The Packard is on those terms sleek, clean and quite up to date and remained so through 53. OK, the grille was no stylistic triumph.....but was nicely tweaked and integrated by 53.

The pity is that Packard fielded only one high end car in 51-2, the Patrician. Mr. Nance should be given credit for pushing the expansion of high end models that occurred in 53 and 54.
