You're right, that is an impressive collection of Packards for what appears to be a small museum. One would think anything Route 66 related would be mostly Ford Chevy. I think there was a Cord or maybe Huppmobile too.

It appears to be a 53 Clipper and I think the body color you like is Galahad Green Metallic however there is an anomaly. The car appears to be two tone unless that is huge reflected lighting shining off top. If two, like so many others, it must have been repainted. The only two tone green listed for 53 is code KO & the Packard factory combo would usually be the lighter color or Orchard Green on bottom and darker or Galahad would be on top.

Packard had some similar & very nice darker greens from 51-4. Valiant Green Metallic in 51, Gallant Green metallic in 52, Galahad Green metallic in 53 and my favorite, Gulf Green Metallic as a mid year intro in 54.
