1942 Clipper 180 Touring Sedan. Fully restored; CCCA national award winner. One of only two of this model known to exist (Body No. 1522). Sold for $55,000.https://www.mecum.com/lots/554110/1942-packard-clipper/[/quote]
The auction description reads: "The most expensive Packard model offered in 1942."
Is that true? How about a Custom Super Eight One-Eighty Touring Limo, not to mention a Custom Super Eight One-Eighty All Weather Cabriolet by Rollson or a Custom Super Eight One-Eighty Touring Limo by LeBaron? And I miss A/C to be the most expensive Packard model offered.
