Seldom seen even when new, this Custom Super Clipper Club Sedan is a superb and rare Packard. Gracing a 127-inch wheelbase chassis, the sleek two-door fastback is powered by a 356 cubic-inch displacement straight eight engine with nine main bearings. It delivers 165 horsepower with exceptional torque through a three-speed manual transmission, which on this car is equipped with optional overdrive.
Packard reserved its finest 1947 interiors for the Custom Super Clipper models. In this example, blue wool broadcloth upholstery is trimmed with contrasting off-white piping. Appliques of Amboyna burl wood grain on the lower dash and window wainscoting, combined with smoky pearl wood grain on the upper dash and window moldings, contribute to the finely crafted interior's luxurious ambiance. The Club Sedan is finished in a correct metallic Packard Blue. Hubcaps adorned with cloisonne-filled Packard hexagon medallions are an exterior hallmark of the car's Custom Super Clipper status. The front bumper guards flank a very scarce cloisonne hexagon with a wings emblem. Nicely accessorized with driving lights, dual outside mirrors, fender skirts, and a backup light, this Packard is also equipped with the optional heater and a factory vacuum-tube radio that still works. The odometer shows just over 62,000 miles.
Sold new by RileyColes Motors in Dayton, Florida, the Club Sedan's data plate indicates delivery to the original owner was made on 9/9/1947, which is the latest such date reported among the approximately 20 remaining examples known to collectors today.
