Great advice from Joe and I especially liked the part about filling the oil to the cam. I'm about to revive my 1954 Patrician, also in Oregon, and that tidbit never occurred to me but makes perfect sense!

By the way, your Packard Clipper appears to be a 1954, not a 1953. Different side trim between the years but the more obvious thing is the dash, stainless trim plates that wraps around the fender below the cast wrap-around pieces. No rear photos but the taillights are also totally different between the two years.

Addendum: I forgot to mention that it has a 1952 Cormorant hood ornament which was quite different than the Cormorant of '53 and '54 although likely this car originally had the base ornament.
