Re: 1941-1947 Parts Manual Utility section 50.000

Hard to say why there is no utility section in the Clipper book. I would imagine so much of the Clipper used the same items as the conventional bodies that perhaps it was felt it was not needed or maybe it was planned for a later revision or addendum and the war got in the way.

Even postwar it seems Packard got a little sloppy with the Clipper literature. Some literature has what appears to be a direct copy of 42 material showing some features that never made it to the 21st series. The lighted speedometer pointer in the electrical diagrams and the accessory book showing the AC control knob in the dash panel are two examples.
