Seller's comments about 1947' Packard Clipper Super
The Packard Clipper is an automobile built by the Packard Motor Car Company (and by the later Studebaker-Packard Corporation) for the 1941-1942, 1946-1947, and 1953-1957 model years. Only for 1956 was Clipper classified as a standalone brand. The Clipper was introduced in April 1941, as an entry-level mid-model year model. It was only available as a four-door sedan. The Clipper name was reintroduced in 1953, for the automaker's lowest-priced range. In 1955, the Clipper models were seen as a dilution of Packard's marketing as a luxury car brand. It is named after a type of sailing ship, a so-called clipper. Packhard was a luxury car brand from the United States that existed from 1899 to 1958. The Packhard Motors Company was based in Detroit.
Our Packard Super Clipper was manufactured in America in 1946/ 47 just after the Second World War.
Characteristic of this Packard are the elegant lines, the hidden running boards and the front screens that extend into the front door. Not only in design, but also technically, it was ahead of its time. The 356 inline 8 cylinder with 165 HP was the most powerful and best engine available at the time. These quality engines run incredibly well and the crankshaft has no fewer than 9 bearings.
From 1947 to 2009 it was owned by its first owner in Michigan and since 2009 it has been owned by the second owner in the Netherlands. Quite Unique!
This Super Clipper is 100% still in its original version and has been filmed as the car of the protagonist in the drama series “De Stamhouder”.
The second owner has really done everything he can to restore this Super Clipper to its former glory, so much has been replaced or expertly overhauled. With a total amount of approximately € 33, 000, all accounts of which are available for inspection here. You will also receive the old workshop manual and service book and the entire electrical diagram with the car.
The paint is in very nice condition and has a beautiful shine. The interior is equally beautifully cared for. All the chrome work also looks very neat.
In short, a beautiful, optically and technically well-maintained classic to take on the road!
Packard's slogan was “Ask the man who owns one”.
