1953 Packard Patrician Touring
View Description
This baby blue Packard is in great condition and is a unique add to any collection.
For 1953, the Patrician used the same 327-cubic-inch (5,360 cc) 9-main bearing engine that used for 1951 and 1952 but for the first time added a four barrel carburetor for an increase in power. For 1954, the new 359-cubic-inch (5,880 cc) 9-main bearing, aluminum head 212 hp (158 kW) engine was standard and also featured a 4-brl carburetor. 1954 was the first year to add a start-position to the ignition key - earlier years were started by a switch built into the carburetor which was actuated by depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor.
A general description implies that all Patrician models were fitted out with standard equipment when in fact they could be built to order. If a customer wanted a manual transmission then that is what he or she would be given by the factory. This numbers matching Packard is showing only just over 55k miles and has the automatic transmission. The two-tone paint with Dark blue top and light baby blue bottom adds a lot of curb appeal to this chromed out...
