When introduced, the postwar Packard’s were still being built to the same high standards that were set by this manufacturer in 1899. Like most manufacturers, it was forced to begin post-war production with a revised version of a pre-war design, which would remain in the offering for three years while a fully “new” car was being developed. Unlike others, however, Packard had the Clipper, which was a new model that had been designed with the input of legendary stylist Howard “Dutch” Darrin and was first introduced in 1941.

This Packard has been cosmetically restored with new blue paint and chrome where it was needed. The gray interior is completely new, along with all wood door and dash trim being refinished. The engine is the straight eight-cylinder with a three-speed manual transmission equipped with overdrive. The car has been upgraded with modern air conditioning, alternator, 12-volt electrical system and a radio.

With all the modern amenities, including radial tires; it would be a great car to tour with.
