Welcome! The 200 series is considered a junior line. I'm sure you'll get a message encouraging you to register it here to add to the data on surviving Packards.

Hello, congrats on your new addition.

A 51/52 200 is pretty much the exact same car as a 53/54 Clipper. So you'll often here them referred to as 51/52 Clippers as well.

The 200 (Clipper), 250 (Convertible) cars were Juniors. The 300 (Cavalier) /400 (Patrician) are Seniors. The only exception were the 54 Convertibles, which were finally given a status upgrade considered a Senior model at that point. Senior models generally had the 9 bearing motors, upgraded trim and interior, and besides the Convertible, had a longer wheel base.

The 300 (Cavalier) I believe had the 5-main bearing but I understand that the 9-main could be ordered at extra cost. Not sure, though.

Correct. Hence why I said "Generally" :)

Yes, I know and my comment wasn't to correct you but just to put it on the record for any Packard newcomers.

To add to it, the massive 3-ton Henney-Packards from 1951 to 1953 also used the 5-main as it was a good engine (the '54s used the new 359 which was only a 9-main).
