Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Hi all.

Do we have this info on the web page anywhere? I did some searching, but did not find anything. I was specifically interested in how many 2-door sedans/coupes (2-door with pillar) were made in 1951 & 1952?

(UPDATE: I see under the model info pages here it list "total" production for each trim level, but not broken down by 2-door vs. 4-door... so still looking...)

thanks
Mike

I don't know whether Packard never made that data available for 1951, or if it's just been lost to time. But they did make it available for 1952 and it can be found in the Appendix of the Nat Dawes book, Nat's book "The Packard 1942 - 1962" was pretty much the standard reference work on the postwar Packards until the Kimes-edited AQ book was published. The book is copyrighted so I can't scan and post here, but some of the data for 1952:

Clipper - touring sedan 23,126
club sedan 6,370

Clipper DLX touring sedan 26,037
club sedan 4,678

Clipper Sportster 3,671

Mayfair 5,150

The production values for each of the 1952 cars are also listed here on the Model Info pages.

Thank you, Owen. I'm sure 51 was a similar breakdown.

I still do not see numbers by 2-/4-door breakdown on PI. Only the numbers by model. But this will do.
