VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | The Clipper was originally purcased in Albuquerque, NM, although I do not know the name of the original owner or how long he/she owned the car. In 1982 the car was purchased in Albuquerque and transported to Grand Rapids, MN, where it underwent a total restoration over about a nine-year period. It was sold in the early 2s and sold again about five years ago to a couple in Chester, VA. My wife and I purchased the car June 3, 212. It is in excellent condition and drives very well. Since I have owned it, the "Bumblebee" has taken first place in the Packard Class at the annual Sully Plantation Car Show in June and won an award for its class in October at the Old Dominion Packard Club Fall Meet in Orange, VA. pIf anyone has information regarding the history of this car prior to 1982, please contact me. | ||||
