Description : Patrician is an automobile which was built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, from model years 1951 through the 1956. During its six years in production, the Patrician was built in Packard's in the Packard Detroit facilities. The highest trim level available was the Packard Patrician 400. The Patrician 400 replaced the previous model year's Super 8 model range. The car was easily identified from other Packard's by its chrome trim; in 1951 the model featured three chrome ports on its rear fender. The Patrician 400 was available only as a premium, four-door sedan, outfitted with high-grade upholstery and chrome trimming within. If you're looking for a blast from the past cruiser, your search ends here! This 1951 Packard Patrician is powered by a 327 cu in Straight 8 engine and a 2-speed automatic transmission. The Blue exterior paint is in good condition. Climb in and take a seat on the cozy blue and tan cloth interior, and in good condition overall, showing little to no signs of wear both on the seats and the door-panels. The headliner is tucked around nice and tight in all corners and doesn't have any "drooping". Sit up front and find your eyes instantly drawn to the dash, chrome gauges, and trim running throughout it. All this sits on a set of white wall, radial tires!
