pilou ◊ 2006-07-12 22:44	??? Grille does not correspond to any of the 1951 or 1952 Packard series.but to the 1953 Clipper.The rear fender line is also more angular than on the 1951-1952 cars.I strongly suspect this to be a twenty sixth series Clipper DeLuxe from 1953 . Even if the movie is dated 1952 it is still possible that this is a 1953 model year car introduced after the Paris salon of october 52.

Ne pas confondre une "200" avec toutes les autres Packard

Yvon52 ◊ 2006-07-13 01:30	Il y a un article dans l'Automobilia n° 37 de mai 1999 concernant les Packard en France. Je l'ai, mais il est "quelquepart" dans mon déménagement. C'est peut-être là la clef de cette énigme. Tout le monde est d'accord, il s'agit du "body" d'une Packard 200 de 1951/1952 ou d'une Clipper de 1953, mais cette calandre et chrome du capot avant ne correspond à aucune Packard connue!!! Il ne peut s'agir d'une 1953 = le film date de janvier 1952. INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-08-31 17:51	Most interesting. Grille at first glance does indeed appear to be of the '53 to '54 Clipper type. However, the side trim is definitely pre-Clipper and I think with the sharp angle and the distortion through the windshield of the other car, that this must be a '51 to '52 variety 200 or 200 Deluxe. (Even seems like I might be able to see the PACKARD letters on the hood front.) Were any different varieties of Packards built for non-USA markets?
