Used 1955 Packard Clipper for sale in Ruskin, Florida
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to list this numbers matching 1955 Packard Clipper Custom. Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last Detroit-built Packard in 1956, when they built the Packard Predictor. Packard significantly altered the Clipper line in 1955 with a new design, new powertrain, and a new chassis. The cars front was radically different, with a mesh grille, revised bumper, and a wraparound windshield. Mechanically, a 12-volt electrical system was adopted, a new torsion bar suspension was installed, the Ultramatic transmission was enhanced, and a V-8 replaced the straight-eight engines. Deluxe, Super, and Custom trims defined the Clipper line, with the first two carrying a 225-hp, 320-cid V-8 with two-barrel carburation, and the latter using a 245-hp, 352-cid V-8. A Custom version of the Panama hardtop joined the ranks and was called the Constellation. This beautiful example is powered by its original 320 CID V8 engine and automatic transmission with only 71k actual miles. Under the hood of this car you will instantly notice the modern R134a A/C system, power steering, and even power brakes. This car is built to be driven and enjoyed with comfort features. Dipped in black and tan two tone paint, this car doesnt disappoint when it comes to style either. The chrome trim, grille, bumpers, and mirrors all shine and make this land yacht turn heads. There is enough room for the whole family with bench seats that holster seat belts. The two-tone cloth interior matchs the paint theme and is in great condition. What really makes this car stylish is the dash and gauges. If you are looking for a nice driver or even something to take to shows, we have the toy for you!
