1947 Packard DELUXE CLIPPER TOURING SEDAN

MANUAL W/OVERDRIVE

2112-14549

THIS VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE. THIS WAS ONE OF THE EARLY POST WW2 VEHICLES, SO WAS LOADED WITH ACCESSORIES. IT HAS THE DELUXE STEERING WHEEL (IN GOOD CONDITION), RADIO, OVERDRIVE, ELECTROMATIC CLUTCH, DUAL HEATERS, GRILLE GUARD, FRONT FENDER "WHISKERS", BUMPER EXTENSIONS FRONT AND REAR, BACKUP LIGHT, WINDSHIELD VISOR, REAR WINDOW BLIND, FOG LIGHTS, AND FOLD DOWN POLARIZED VISOR EXTENSIONS. I BELIEVE THE MILEAGE SHOWN IS ACTUAL/ORIGINAL. THE CAR WAS SOLD NEW AT CUTLER MOTORS IN BURBANK CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 11, 1946 - WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL INVOICE. WE ARE THE THIRD OWNERS AND HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 19 YEARS. THE PACKARD HAS A GOOD RUNNING 282 CI STRAIGHT EIGHT ENGINE WHICH HOLDS GOOD OIL PRESSURE AND DOES NOT OVERHEAT. THE OVERDRIVE WORKS PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEM AT MODERATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60-65 MPH). THE GAUGES ALL WORK. THE RADIO WORKS, BUT THE SPEAKER NEEDS TO BE RE-CONED. THE CLOCK DID WORK, BUT THE FUSE HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR SEVERAL YEARS..... THE ELECTRIC WIPERS WORK. THERE IS NO RUST ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS LIVED ONLY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA. THERE IS SOME MINOR BODY DAMAGE ON THE RIGHT REAR FENDER (LOOKS LIKE IT WAS RUBBED ON A GARAGE DOOR). THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD IN THE PICTURES, BUT IS A POOR QUALITY REPAINT, PROBABLY DONE IN THE 1960'S. BOTH SEATS AND THE FRONT DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A GRAY VINYL, AGAIN PROBABLY IN THE 1960'S. WE HAVE NOT REMOVED THE COVERS TO LOOK UNDERNEATH.
