The 1953-1954 Packard Clipper Sportster was affordable and rare, with just more than 1,000 manufactured. They were powered by an inline eight-cylinder engine. Learn more about the Sportster here.
The 1953-1954 Packard Clipper Sportster was an interesting member of the lower-priced Packard line that offered hardtop-style appointments (two-tone paint and a nice interior) without the pillarless roof.
