The name Mayfair

London, England.[1] The coupe body style was also used for a convertible, while the Mayfair model name was exclusive to the hardtop.[1]

When the Packard body style was updated for 1951, the door handle was concealed and aligned with the chrome beltline that surrounded the side windows, bottom of the windshield and rear window.

The Mayfair came standard-equipped with a three speed manual transmission, while Packard's Ultramatic automatic transmission, four-way power seat, leather upholstery, power steering, power assist "Easamatic" drum brakes, heater and windshield defroster, chrome cormorant hood ornament, and power windows were available as extra cost options.[1] The Convertible came standard with leather upholstery and a power operated top, and had a retail price of $3,939 ($46,144 in 2023 dollars [5]) while the hardtop was offered at $3,234 ($37,962 in 2023 dollars [5])

The Mayfair was succeeded in 1954 by the Pacific, which achieved Senior status with the inclusion of the larger 359 cu in (5.9 L) 4-bbl. L-head Straight-eight engine and full "senior trim" of the Packard Patrician, while the Convertible continued as the Model 5479 Convertible and the all-new Packard Caribbean.[6]
