One of less than 10 built in Packard Ivory, which was a late addition. The red leather interior is exactly the right choice with the Ivory bodywork. Matching red carpets are deep and plush, helping to keep the interior quiet and comfortable and the simple door panels are an exercise in good taste and restraint. Packard logo floor mats protect those plush carpets and this car is equipped with optional power windows that all go up and down easily. It's worth noting that both the radio and the power antenna are operational as well. There’s also a black canvas power convertible top that folds easily and stows under a matching black boot. The trunk is positively massive with the spare in the continental kit, and it’s beautifully trimmed in matching red carpets. The ultra-smooth and surprisingly powerful 327 cubic inch straight-8 used in 1953 is a great runner. With a 4-barrel carburetor and a rather 8.0:1 compression ratio, it makes 180 of the most creamy-smooth horsepower you’ve ever experienced.
