I know very little about the PreWar Packards, but the Turnquist book doesn't show anything about a 2024 model.

However, it does list 1572 and 1575 body styles for the the Model 2003 Clipper. The 1562 body style turns up under Model 2004 Touring Sedan, which is not a Clipper. The 2003 > 1575 and the 2004 >1562 are pictured in chapter on 20th Series. I wonder if the 2024 that appears in the Model Info feature was just some sort of typo.

WRT to the '54 Formal Sedan, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 5453 is to 5452 (both on the 5406 chassis) as 2653 is to 2652 (on the 2606 chassis) - a Derham Formal edition/conversion of the Patrician sedan. I haven't found any info on it, either. It might have been on the boards, but never produced.

I'm not familiar with a "1953 Sportster" - other than the Clipper model, which I thought was displayed with specs in the Model Info.

IMHO, I'd include any model you have some information on and use the Gen'l Info section to note it as an "unknown" with a request for specific information.

I hope this helps, but hope that others with more knowledge than me can provide affirmation or clarification.
