1947 Packard Custom Super Clipper offered with a reserve This example is a good solid original car that has obviously been stored indoors its whole life, and has had a lot of expensive mechanical work undertaken, it needs only a respray to be completely restored. The car has had its entire drivetrain rebuilt, a new wiring harness installed, all the suspension bits replaced, and the lower part of the engine compartment has been repainted Maroon-which appears to be the original color of the car, so its ready for the repaint.  The chrome has also been replated in places most notably the bumpers. the original splash pans are still in place. The upholstery is in exceptional condition. The dash top could use regrained, and there are a few tiny moth holes in the headliner, but otherwise the interior is quite nice. The paint is the weakest part of the car with several spots where it has been polished through and with crazing and chipping here and there. There are some shallow dents here and there and a sizable one on right rear fender.
This is actually the perfect CARavan car as it presents well enough from 10 feet but isn't so perfect you worry overly much about it when dining out or leaving it parked in public, and it is an exceptional runner you can drive without concern.
The car runs and drives exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to drive this car cross country today. The car runs cool and quiet, the brakes work well, and the Electromatic clutch and Overdrive work beautifully. It has newer tires and a fresh correct battery. All the guages function perfectly with the exception of the Radio and Clock.
If you have been looking for a nice driving Custom Super Clipper you can use immediately and improve over time-this is your car!. Here's your chance to get a very drivable Full Classic Packard for an affordable price.

The Packard Motor Car Company introduced the Packard Clipper model, as part of Packard's Nineteenth Series of automobiles. The car featured fade away styling, which means that the front fenders melted into the front doors, and was powered by the same engine used in the Packard 180 series. The Clipper was lower and wider than previous Packards, and was the first streamlined Packard. One body series was offered (model 1951), a four door sedan. The Packard Clipper was priced between the Packard 120 and the Packard 160. Packard advertising encouraged consumers to Skipper the Clipper!
For its Twentieth Series (1942), save for its Packard Six and convertible models, all Packards became Clipperized and adopted the styling cues introduced by the 1941 Clipper.
The Custom Super Clipper is the top of the line Clipper and the only Full Classic Clipper. They feature the rugged 9 main bearing 356 Super Eight, arguably the finest motor Packard ever made, and a 3 speed OD gearbox. These cars are the ultimate CARavan car as they cruise comfortably at highway speeds, handle very well and are quite luxuriously appointed. Our Ebay Policies:
