This 1953 Packard Henney is a four-door limousine with expanded interior dimensions, whitewall tires, generous chrome trim, and luxurious appointments for its time. Power for this limited-edition model comes from a 327ci flathead straight-8 backed by a column-shifted 2-speed Ultramatic automatic transmission. This limousine was reportedly assembled as production number 66 in a 100-unit series and spent roughly 30 years in storage before being refurbished to show-ready roadworthiness. Finished in Dark Green over a tan cloth interior, this limousine is now offered with a factory service manual and a clear Florida title in the seller’s name.
The Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit rolled out a redesigned suite of luxury cars in 1953, with this four-door limousine having been refinished in Dark Green over an original rust-free body. Originally customized as part of a 100-unit production run, this car spent about three decades in storage before undergoing cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. The exterior is adorned with good-condition brightwork for the hood ornament, moldings, bumpers, badging, and more. The passenger front fender has a crease as illustrated in the photo carousel.
Steel wheels with full polished covers are mounted to wide whitewall tires. Recent chassis work included replacement of the wheel cylinders.
The extended-wheelbase interior offers augmented legroom in the rear passenger compartment and is fitted with tan cloth bench seating for the front and rear, color-matched to the door panels, dash, and dark brown carpeting. The interior features chrome accent trim, a roll-up divider window, a push-button radio, and a heater.
Instrumentation is held within an oval cluster of three circular gauges and includes a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Additional warning lights are present for oil pressure and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 42k miles.
The Thunderbolt 327ci flathead straight-8 was rated at 180 horsepower when new and received fresh fluids. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a column-shifted 2-speed Ultramatic automatic transmission featuring a lockup torque converter.
Photos showing the underside are available in the carousel.
The sale includes a 1951-54 Packard factory service manual.
