A/C, 12 VOLT SYSTEM AND THIRD BRAKE LIGHT After making a massive
contribution to the Allied war effort producing thousands of Merlin
V-12 aircraft engines and PT-boat powerplants among other military
material, Packard returned to peacetime with the Clipper as the
basis for its entire model 1946-47 model range. As the redesigned
1948 models were under development, the 21st Series Packard model
lines for 1947 were now focused along the Clipper Six, Clipper
DeLuxe Eight and Super Clipper Eight with differences limited
mainly to engine displacement, wheelbase length, and trim.Formerly
owned by a Packard collector, this captivating 1947 Packard Clipper
DeLuxe is a wonderful example of Packards last generation of its
stylish and very well-regarded Clipper. It clearly benefits from a
high-quality, frame-off restoration including: a repaint in
factory-specified Vermont Green over a stunning 2-tone Green
Leather and Grey pinstriped cloth upholstery. Power is delivered by
a robust 282 cubic-inch, inline 8-cylinder engine delivering 125
horsepower which was rebuilt including new bearing inserts. A
3-speed manual transmission delivers the power. A dash-mounted
clock, factory radio, seat belts and added air conditioning a
factory-available item for 1947, are welcome passenger amenities. A
fresh service and professional detailing were most recently
performed at The Last Detail, rendering this excellent 1947 Packard
Clipper DeLuxe Eight equally ready for the show field or a very
enjoyable classic touring experience. Contact us today to see it
for yourself, obtain full details and prepare to make it yours in
