She ran just fine on her maiden tour, the VMCCA Three Rivers Run out of Defiance, Ohio. One stop was the ACD Museum in Auburn, Indiana. Interestingly, I purchased this car just one year ago from a ACD Museum employee...he really appreciated her "new" look, inside and out!
Restoration was completed in 2002 and since that time has been judged by CCCA to Premier status. Also won best in class at 2007 PAC National Meet in South Bend, IN. Color is Packard Laguna Maroon Opalescent
The 1941 custom cars included two Darrins (victoria and sport sedan), two Rollsons (all-weather cabriolet and all-weather town car), and 3 LeBarons (touring sedan, touring limousine, and the pictured sport brougham. Of these, 99 were built and about 35 are known to remain.
I found this 41 Clipper in Kentucky in 2007. It was an older restoration from the early 1980s that became the hobby of a retired Packard lover, named Jack Williams, in Oklahoma who I never knew. I am doing a rehab on the engine which has been silent for 20 years. Other work will involve brake rebuild, front suspension, and drive train rehab I plan to use it as a daily driver vehicle adding turn signals,lap belts, and radio rebuild. The upholstery is corded cloth on seats and smooth camel on door panels and headliner. I found a rusty screwdriver (presumably Jack's) under the back seat. I am pleased to watch this puppy come back to life with each new upgrade. 1941 Packard Clipper
