bryankazmer Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 IMO, the seat covers look better than an incorrect polyester reupholstering. I agree with leaving them. I'm not in the green hater club - this car has a pleasing period look to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I like it, you could stand out in a crowd with this car. I also would keep the plaid seat covers. Only thing that would concern me is that it has not run in several years. Why? Might be a few dollars to get this thing running and driving.

alsancle Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Mechanically identical to our Caribbean. Very nice easy car to drive around in, and simple to work on. Parts are very readily available. I’ve always been a fan of the 53 to 54 Packards. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably filled out by a Production Line worker while eating lunch on the assembly line. Then stuffed into the seat cushions😉😉😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) The Trim Code 82 for the 1953 Cavalier sedan (2672) was the combination dark and light green nylon cloth that matches what is on the door panels. The 82 green and white leather applies only to the '54 Caribbean convertible (5478). This car is located only about twenty miles away from me. If you are interested, forward me the contact information from the FB listing, I will go check it out for you. I have a '53 Clipper Deluxe touring sedan so have some familiarity with this series. As AJ notes, these are mechanically straight forward, parts and service advice are readily available, and they drive very nicely.
