According to this source the below shown car is a 1941 Clipper. I don't know what that Packard brought to Bulgaria but to find back home the odds are long.
Guscha, I don't think it is a 1941 (19th Series) Clipper. If I am not mistaken the 1941 Clippers only came in one body style, a junior level 8-cylinder 4-door sedan to supplement the One Twenties. The Clipper pictured looks to be a long wheel base 7-passenger model. This and the short horizontal grille bars makes me think it is a senior (160 or 180) 1942 model. So, the question is: when did it come to Bulgaria? Must have arrived after the war. Maybe its earlier life was as an embassy car?
