G'day SSD,
to PackardInfo. Looks good, but I'll leave more in depth comments to those more familiar with those model years. Instead, I invite you to include your '53 Clipper Deluxe in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo!

You have gotten yourself a car that is easy to work on, and very comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Especially with the overdrive it will keep up with traffic easily. Its already much more solid than what we find here along the east coast.
Just recently we have had two fellows here on the forum who have had troubles with valves sticking caused by running an engine on old gas. Do yourself a big favor and resist the temptation to try and nurse that thing to life with anything that might be in the tank. I have two essentially similar cars on the road and never get tired of driving them.

Thanks for the info but when pawpaw parked it he drained the tank clamped the line and filled the tank with diesel so it wouldn't rust he started it off a small tank he would rig up direct to the carb. said pull the clamp off and put power to the pump under the car and the tank is ready for gas in a few min

Looks like a great car and was taken care of. There is a lot, and I mean a LOT of discussion on the power brake Packard used on this website. It might help make up your mind as to what to do with the Easamatic system. I'm sure you'll have plenty of good times with your Clipper and Grandfather breathing life back into her and driving. Good luck!
