Hi JW

"It is the interiors of the Sportsters that made them special. This one is gone. So what do you have besides the patent plate?"

Not much, the Sportsters were a pretty pallid effort: a plain-jane Clipper Special club sedan with hardtop-style interior and chrome B-pillar trims.....for a $261 price premium. Surprisingly, they still moved 3,671 of them. It was supposed to appeal to hardtop buyers, that style the hot new item then. One wonders whether they couldn't have ginned-up a less-expensive version of the Mayfair, something of a Clipper Panama for '53?

Of that particular California car, body looks solid, has the Senior grille overlays and bumpers. I'd like a set of those B-pillar stainless trims to fit on a '53-'54 Cavalier or Patrician.

Ive seen the Monroe car before. We got a he!! of a deal on ours for the price they are asking.

Id love to have the 55 in Apple Valley seill a lot higher than we paid for the running car.

Hey steve. this is in your neck of the woods. though i am more of a 51 jr. admirer than you

Hi Rusty

Yes, I noted that Patrician in NJ, even responded to the ad, as usual with CL, no response from the seller yet.

If the NJ car has "the usual rust", I'd rather pay the transportation cost to get this '51 Patrician:

Or, maybe this '53 Clipper Deluxe, repaint it immediately!

Had I the bucks, this '54 Convertible project:
