1955 Clipper Super Sedan. Believe it or not, it actually looks like a pretty nice car. Don't see any rust and the interior is very clean. Body tag says Paint BA which was Tourmaline over Jade, but the car is all one color, and it looks like a blue/green shade. Car is in Newburg, NY. Can be yours for $5,900. Only issue I see in the photos is that the hood ornament is broken off.

The 1937 115C Business Coupe just sold for $23,500. I think this is a fairly respectable price for this car but wonder what it would have brought with an original wool broadcloth interior. Still, a decent result for a very nice prewar junior Packard.

Very rusty 1954 Patrician for parts. Engine may be frozen, but car looks complete. $850. Car is in Wisconsin:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1505145686888659/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9007bdf8-e416-4817-b336-41b0f5916ebc

Nicely restored 1953 Clipper sedan in Meriden, CT. My old hometown and not far from where I now live. Very clean car. Has standard shift. $11K:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1014483183119997/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9007bdf8-e416-4817-b336-41b0f5916ebc

New Listing. 1947 Clipper Deluxe Limousine. Has division window. Interior looks really good except for leather on driver's side upper cushion. Really solid car. Might be a deal at $15K. Tennessee:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1290138421692766/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9007bdf8-e416-4817-b336-41b0f5916ebc

1954 Henney Hearse. Basket case. Rough from many years of outdoor storage and probably way overpriced at $4,500, but a rare last year Henney. Spartanburg, SC:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/807724507589940/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9007bdf8-e416-4817-b336-41b0f5916ebc

1949 (23rd Series) Super 8 Sedan (this is what the ad states but cannot verify model from photos - it might actually be a Standard 8). Abandoned restoration project, including paint and chrome. Ad states seller has invested over $30K in the project. Is asking $15K. Ypsilanti, MI:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/655144933224913/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9007bdf8-e416-4817-b336-41b0f5916ebc

1955 Patrician. Runs and drives. A project, but not bad looking, could probably be used as is with minimal work. Only $5,500. Oregon:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1048316509689816/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aba847179-e53f-4bfc-bf50-9e2461db0ddb

1936 120 Convertible Coupe plus a 1937 120 Convertible Sedan. The '36 looks like a restored car that needs a few finishing details, the '37 is a project, but very solid and complete. Anyone interested in going in on this? I am interested in the '36, but seller states he will not separate and is only interested in selling both cars together as a package. Salinas, CA:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6724598960990997/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A660e7ebf-f945-446f-b586-9f1f1f8d6d7e

Couple more I would like to post:

1939 Six Sedan. Rough unrestored but appears to be all there. Interior really trashed. Borderline restorable, but probably better for parts since it is a sedan. $3K. Texas:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/282112948161041/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ad615097b-7acb-4490-ab35-4824af518ab1

1926 Single Six Opera Coupe. Engine is stuck, needs total resto, including wood, seller has a spare engine from a '25. Looks like it was given an amateur resto in the 1950's but has deteriorated badly since. Has a CA registration sticker from 1958 - assume this may have been the last time it was on the road. I like this car for some reason, but it is really overpriced at $16K. I'm thinking less than about $5K. Texas:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5388645474593821/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ad615097b-7acb-4490-ab35-4824af518ab1

1929 626 Sedan. Very solid and very original. In storage for over 60 years. Solid black with disc wheels. Think this one might be the deal of the day at $13K. Worth a look:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3534640536786202/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A7d90d1af-7139-4813-b33d-9d68b2a628e0

1941 Clipper. Maybe too rough to restore, but mostly intact and great for parts. Nice grille. Asking $1,200. Ohio.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/990701322172739/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A7d90d1af-7139-4813-b33d-9d68b2a628e0

1940 Chevrolet Packard Coupe. Ok, it an abandoned street rod project that started out as a '40 110 coupe. Set up for Chevy V8 with a Nova subframe. Top has been chopped 3" and has been modified to have suicide doors. New floors. In primer. What a deal for only $5,500. Tennessee.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/856769149394918/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A7d90d1af-7139-4813-b33d-9d68b2a628e0

1946 Clipper Sedan. Short wheelbase model and cannot tell if it is a Six or an Eight. Appears that someone attempted to restore this car and then gave up. Good thing as they were probably wasting their time. Rockers are totally gone; I'm seeing daylight through the floors and the interior is completely trashed. But what do you want for $1,200? Missouri:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/370550648702807/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A04039363-ef98-4c95-804d-cf915c237a00

And forgot to post this link for the 1956 Executive Sedan with factory air in KY. Seller also has a '51 Nash Ambassador and '50 Olds 88 which would be great for yard art. Always kind of liked those bathtub Nashes, especially the '51's with the tail fins. They are really bizarre looking cars:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/710046124398907/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A04039363-ef98-4c95-804d-cf915c237a00

On FB Marketplace today and found some really cheap Packards. Some are probably just parts cars. But they are cheap:

1941 Clipper for $1,200. Ohio:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/860285752154469/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1948 or '49 22nd series sedan. Think it is a Standard Eight. Only $123. West VA:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/690586149838852/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1951 200 Deluxe Sedan. Asking $3K, but probably worth more like $1K. Maryland:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/882494696599478/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1952 200 Sedan. Asking $3,500, but probably not worth quite that much. Note custom tail lights. West VA:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/792824522381257/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1956 400 Hardtop. Needs everything, but definitely restorable and I have seen much worse for more than the $3K asking price. Virginia:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/758893402683651/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1955 Clipper Custom Sedan. Rough and rusty, but it is all there. South Hadley, Massachusetts. Only $1,650. Just listed this week:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/867314351718198/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1955 Clipper Super Panama HT. Needs resto and is pretty nasty looking, but ad states car runs and drives. Looks like someone started on it and gave up. Have seen worse for $3,500. West VA:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/280197921472506/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1952 250 Convertible. Rough car, but could be restored, though with considerable effort. Asking price of $5K is probably a bit too much given the extensive rust in the rear quarters. But it does look complete. Partially apart. Ohio

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/585927973694060/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1953 Clipper Sedan with standard shift. Needs restoration but looks doable and is complete. Car last ran in 2022. Owner wants gone asap as he cannot complete the project. $2,850 negotiable. Norwalk, CT:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/267622595816848/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1938 junior series sedan, appears to be a Six. Very rough, rusty and incomplete, but may be some salvageable parts. Only $400. North Carolina

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3616398168597142/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1939 Six Sedan. Ad states it is a 1940 120, but I'm pretty sure it is a '39 Six. Really rough. Ad has $1 for an asking price, but I think the seller is actually looking for more. Not sure what this is even worth, but I do see at least some good parts like the banjo wheel. Winston-Salem, NC:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1431754554061314/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3c33eace-1c5f-4b4a-bb2f-9c88a702fbf4

1955 Clipper Super Sedan. Needs total restoration, but body looks surprising solid for an unrestored car. Don't see the usual rust in the rear quarters and the fender skirts are on the car. Asking $2K. Indiana:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1690686311395182/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1951 200 Deluxe Sedan. Looks like a nice original car. Engine is rebuilt, but out of the car. Includes a complete 1952 200 Sedan parts car. Only $5,900 for both cars. Seller cannot finish project due to age and health issues. Missouri:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/235528862559564/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1958 Model 58L Sedan. Needs restoration, but engine runs, and car is complete. Unfortunately, the windshield is busted. Asking $2,400. Iowa

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/256714460385414/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1955 Clipper Custom Sedan. Very rough from apparently many years of outdoor storage, rear of the car is on the ground. Floors look bad. Probably just for parts, but there is a lot there that is useable. Asking $1,200 Chattanooga, TN:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3622264224686449/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1953 Clipper Sedan. Very rough parts car for just $700. Tennessee:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1725554914594274/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1954 Clipper Super Sedan. Runs and drives. Body not too bad, but interior is pretty ragged. Only $2K for a running Packard:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/167625863022343/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1958 Model J8 Hardtop. Very rusty and may not be restorable but appears complete. Rare car as total production of this model was only 588. Asking $5K. Iowa:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3185091941791906/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1948 Sedan. Not sure of model, but it has to be either a Standard or a Deluxe Eight. Rough project car or parts. Asking $1,200. Iowa.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/105671645896848/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1949 (23rd Series) Club Sedan. No motor or transmission, but body looks very solid. Asking $2,500. Indiana:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/325272450245552/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1952 200 Sedan. Has standard shift. Runs and drives. Body does not look too bad. Asking $4,200. Iowa:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/995242624957647/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1947 Clipper Six Sedan. Runs and drives, looks complete. Needs cosmetics, but don't see much rust. Interior redone in incorrect fabric. Asking $6,500:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/960341421738722/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1953 Henney Junior. Stripped, no engine or transmission, but car was originally from AZ, so it is rust free and straight. Abandoned street rod project, has a Camaro front subframe. Nashville, TN. Only $2,200.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/632476358852927/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1949 (22nd Series) Super Eight LWB Sedan. Ad says it is a Limousine and it has the division window, so it is either a 2276 or a 2270. Needs everything and interior is very rough, though body does look solid. Asking $5K. Illinois:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/308078928846657/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1948 Super Eight LWB Sedan. No division window, so this must be Model 2277 or 2271. Original interior looks pretty decent, but paint is really shot. For $5K, it is much better than the one posted above. Missouri:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3731450623842248/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9d7e4189-f3e9-4685-91c5-0d458b60ad9c

1956 Clipper Executive Sedan. Rough parts car, but has factory AC. Asking $1,500. Seller also has 1951 Nash Ambassador and 1950 Olds 88 parts cars for sale.

1950 Packard Sedan. Not sure of model, but it is either a Standard or a Deluxe. In storage for over 30 years. Looks very solid. Salt Lake City, UT. Asking $6,500.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/959106435419353/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1949 (23rd Series) Sedan, either a Standard or a Deluxe. Solid body but paint is totally shot. Runs, but smokes. Needs general restoration. Asking $3,500. Amarillo, TX:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/867661834642053/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

Four 1951-1954 Packards for restoration or parts. One 1951 two door sedan and three four doors (two '51's and a '54). All three '51's are 200's and the '54 appears to be a Clipper Deluxe. Rough from years of outdoor storage, but bodies appear relatively solid as they are in central Wyoming. Long time owner selling due to age. $500 each:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/677363764533991/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1955 400. Partially restored, in primer. Interior redone, but not correct. Runs, but has some mechanical issues. $11K firm according to seller. New Mexico:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3818426371714714/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1956 Clipper Sedan. Not running, glass all busted out, but body looks very solid, and all of the trim is there. Asking $2,250. Nebraska:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/7012158795501323/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1954 Clipper Special Club sedan. Restorable, body does not look too bad, but driver's side rear quarter panel took a wicked hit at some point in the car's past and was repaired with what appears to be about 6 inches of Bondo which is now flaking off. Rare car as only 912 of this model were produced in 1954 and the only other one I have ever seen was a stripped-out hulk in a junkyard. For an asking price of $1,999, someone should save this car. Colorado:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/827880852367459/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1951 200 Sedan. Runs and drives. Body looks straight, but the aftermarket wheel covers have to go. Asking $1,800. Kansas:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/875968850705686/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1951 Patrician. Ad states it is a 1955, but I am pretty sure it is a 1951 or 1952 Patrician. Abandoned stripped and rusted hulk that seller wants $1,500 for but is probably just scrap metal at this point. New Mexico:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/848593990096092/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

1953 Clipper Deluxe Sportster. The Sportster was a special production model two door club sedan with extra trim added to make it sort of look like a convertible. It was only available in 1953 and 1954. The Sportster was identified by the two thin stainless mouldings on the center pillar and the chrome roof bows on the headliner that were borrowed from the hardtops. A very attractive Packard. I once owned a 1954 Sportster. Production of this model was very low, with only 3,671 built in 1953 and an additional 1,336 in 1954. This one looks pretty solid and is well worth saving. Asking price is only $1,950. Oklahoma:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1045964526432015/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6f987b45-8daf-4b0a-84a6-50e34b395e3b

Two 1953 Clipper Deluxe Sedans. Both look restorable but will need a lot of work. Seller is asking $2k for both cars. Sioux City, Iowa. As an aside, my late Dad once had a girlfriend who was from Sioux City. This was during WWII when he was stationed in Hawaii. She was a WAC (Women's Army Corps). These were civilian women who served overseas during the war, mainly in clerical positions on Army bases. My dad was in the Army Air Corps. Growing up, I heard stories about her from some of my aunts. Dad almost married her. Story was he finally broke the engagement because he did not want to move to Sioux City after the war and she apparently did not want to come to Connecticut.

1956 Executive Hardtop. Attractive Dover White over Scottish Heather, but this one is a real mess. Might be restorable, but it will be a challenge, even though there does not appear to be that much rust, except for the roof, of all places. Seller is asking $1,500. Albuquerque, NM:

1955 Clipper Sedan. Abandoned restoration project. Seller is so desperate to unload that he is willing to give it away for free. That's right, a free Packard. Kansas:

1951 and 1953 Packards. The 1951 is a Senior car, can't tell if it is a Patrician or a 300. The '53 is definitely a Patrician. Rough parts cars, both for $1,500. The '51 has a nice sunvisor. New Mexico:

Regarding the vinyl interior, I may be more of a stickler for authenticity than most people because I used to judge cars at local shows and an otherwise well restored car with an incorrect interior would be severely docked in points. In most cases, this would be enough to knock a car out of trophy contention. Also, remember that Packard was a car of great quality and they only used the best materials, even in the less costly junior models. Fine wool broadcloths were the order of they day when competing cars in the junior price class were using the cheaper mohair. In fact, this was seen as a major selling point for Packard. Vinyl is a cheap modern material which does not compare at all to what was originally used in Packards of the prewar era. To replace a wool broadcloth interior with vinyl is like changing from a finely tailored Brooks Brothers suit to a polyester jogging outfit purchased at a Walmart. At least in my opinion.

Yes. I saw this one myself and was going to post a link. Looks like that '35 I posted a link for earlier. Cars are probably too incomplete to be worth restoring.
