Packard Mayfair 1951 Hardtop
Packard was still considered the finest Automobile one could buy in the US in 1951.
The Packard Mayfair shown here was an entry in the hardtop Coupe segment, riding on Packard's junior wheelbase, but with a higher level of trim. The bodystyle had become very popular, industry-wide, and the Mayfair was more reactive than proactive to the market.
The car ran Packard's aging flathead straight-eight, the V8 engine was still a few years away. The car was handsome though - two-tone paint combinations, and a playful trim design for the rear fenders.
Packard sold a total of 101,000 cars for 1951 (a small subset being the Mayfair), but trouble was only a few years away.
