Nice, spunky little car. I leave it to others with experience with these to come up with a paint/upholstery chart. But since you're on the West Coast, sorta, call my old friend Armand Annereau, Armand's Auto Upholstery, Walnut Creek, 1 (925) 934-4373, in business since 1897. Armand's owned many pre and postwar Packards, six, eight, Super Eights, bent eights, and has the lavish upholstery books for most years Packard issued only to their larger dealerships. Tell him a black '47 Super Clipper in Walnut Creek referred you.

Handsome wee barouche, easily as elegant as the funky little postwar Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn/Bentley R-Type on a wheelbase only five inches longer (120"). If only Packard had continued to build such company-saving, reasonably sized cars as yours and the One Twenty BUT instead marketed them as "personal size" or "town use" or "sporting models" instead of with their incredibly lame, clumsy, downhome "junior" ads.
