It's hard to see, but the 53 with manual also has power brakes.
The clutch pedal looks like it is turned horizontal. Has it ever been confirmed that the factory did it that way?

That 53 with overdrive and power brakes will be coming to my house this afternoon if all goes well.
Yes, I have now seen several cars with stick and Easamatic and on all of them the clutch pedal was turned sideways to mimic the brake pedal. The brackets were clearly spot welded onto the pad at the factory--even though there is no mention of this in the parts book. In addition, the pedal does not return as high as a normal clutch, so is a little closer to the brake's level. Have no idea how they did that.

Ross,
If you do get the car, do you have a manual brake standard transmission car to compare how Packard got the pedals to be at the same at the same level?

Ho ho ho. Got the nasty 53 Clipper this morning. Dumped a cupful of PB blaster into each cylinder to loosen things up. At 4:00 bumped it carefully with the starter two complete turns, then turned it over with no plugs till the oil came up. Vigorously cleaned the points, hooked up a gravity feed gas tank, and by 4:30 it was running--and rather well. Satisfying. I love cheap nasty cars.
If anyone wants a good builder 327 or a complete overdrive setup I can fix you right up.

1955 Clipper Super Panama - $4800 (Youngstown, OH)
We've seen this before but the seller added a few pictures. Unfortunately, the new photos are just as bad as his others and he raised the price from $4500 in September to $4800 today. And he wonders why the phone isn't ringing... Attach file:  (19.17 KB)
