The second generation of Packard Clipper was introduced for the 1953 model year. Packard reintroduced the Clipper name for their entry level models in order to transition the Clipper into its own brand. The second generation Clipper was offered as a sedan or coupe, and was fitted with a 4.7L inline eight engine. For the 1956 model year, the Clipper was sold as its own model, but for 1957, it returned to being a Packard model. Production ended in 1957.
