Thank you, gentlemen. I, too, like the Clipper styling very much, especially the fastback look on the coupes. It dawned on me the other day that the Clipper may be the last for-real Packard, but that's an idea whose argument hasn't gelled completely in my head.

The gray one of a '47 2106. The blue one is a no-options '41 which came with some miscellaneous extra parts and sheetmetal. Both are missing a lot of floor and have a lot of other rust-out problems, so I see each as a heap of parts.

Not sure what you mean by script. Each of these has the word "Packard" in script on the lower left corner of the trunk lids. I can't recall sitting here which has script on the front fenders and doors at their intersections. I'm not a fan of the script flags on the dashboard centers, but then I may build a genuine wooden dash board for the farthest gone coupe, should we get to that.

And I have four more coming. Yeah, I know . . . .
