1953 Packard Clipper 4-door Sedan … $11,600-obo
This car combines two of the finest traits that are usually not found together in classic cars --- low mileage and original condition --- no matter how hard you try, once they're gone, they're gone for good.
I am the third owner of this 64-year-old car. We are selling it only because we are short of space. It has a straight-eight 288cid motor and a 6 volt electric system. There is also a newly painted engine and engine bay with Packard gray paint that is period correct.

It is our hope that this car will sell to someone who really appreciates it, that its combination of originality and low mileage (35,013) is special, and that it's not just another classic car.
