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

I am going to go out on a limb here, I think it is a 51 not a 53. I don't think the 53's had the grille teeth, and in the center of the upper grille bar was a Packard crest starting in 52. The 51's had no crest. IMHO, I could be wrong.

Assuming Henney followed Packard's trim details, the letters P-A-C-K-A-R-D across the hood say it's a 1951. And the grille aside, it couldn't be a 1953, wrong windshield.

Will someone please buy this before I do something I'll .......

This car was on another thread. I posted out then I thought it was a 51 not a 53. Although I have owned 2 53 Henny's and one #13 was a early 53 and sported a 52 windshield. So the PACKARD on the Hood and the grille teeth may date it as a 51. I do believe the 52 Juniors also sported the grille teeth also. But with a 327 puts it into SR category. Close to me I wanted to stop by it and take some pictures but wifey wanted no part of it. As I have been prone to buy the odd stuff.

For reference, that previously mentioned thread is here:
