Produced only as a sedan, the Cavalier took the place of the Packard 300 model which was fielded in 1951 and 1952 as Packard s mid range priced vehicle. The 1953 Cavalier was easily identified from other Packards by its unique chrome side spear trim. Packard also created a Cavalier sub series under which three other Packard models, marketed under various names were grouped Packard Caribbean 2 door convertible based on the Packard Pan American show car featuring coachwork by Mitchell Bentley of Utica, Michigan Packard Mayfair which was based on the two door Clipper Deluxe, but featuring higher interior luxury through fabrics and chrome trim. A convertible model, using Cavalier trim, was offered during the 1953 model year and was priced in a more affordable price range than the Caribbean. For 1954, the Cavalier was again offered as a four door sedan car sedan only, but the range also lost its sub series, and the Caribbean was moved into the senior Packard line where it remained until Packard transferred manufacturing to South Bend in 1956. For the 1955 model year, the Cavalier name was retired and the line was absorbed into the Packard Clipper Custom series.

The 180 or One Eighty featured an straight 8 in line eight cylinder , convert 356 CID cc sing on engine that developed 160 horsepower . It was advertised as the most powerful eight cylinder engine offered by any automobile manufacturer in 1940. By contrast, the Cadillac 346  cubic inch V 8 developed 150 hp Packard also used this new engine in their mid range 160 models. Packards of all series 110, 120, 160, 180 shared similar body styling in 1940 which some later said led to a cheapening of the once exclusive luxury marque. However, the 180 s featured finer interior detailing, fabrics and carpeting. There were minor styling changes in the 1941 and 1942 models. The final 180s rolled off the Packard assembly line in February, 1942, as World War II brought a halt to civilian automobile production. There have been rumors that machinery was transferred to the Soviet Union , and production continued until 1959 as the ZIS 110 . However, according in James Ward s The Fall of Packard, page 46, he found no supporting evidence in the Packard archives of such a transfer.
