The story of this Packard begins in California where its original owner purchased the car. While it was driven many miles, the Super Clipper was meticulously well maintained during this period despite the car passing through several owners. The interior had been well preserved, but unfortunately, the exterior began look tired. In the 1980's it was purchase by a CCCA member who had brought the body of the car back into good form and it was then used for touring. The Packard went through several more hands before the consigner made his purchase. In his time with the car, it was shown at Hershey were it gained several awards, primarily for its original interior.
Today, the car is offered with extensive files of invoices pertaining to the mechanical work. This Super Clipper is a wonderful example of one of the most stylish post war sedans and will be welcome on many more show fields in the years to come.
