Hi John

Welcome! Congratulations! You've bought one of the rarest of the Super Clippers, two door club sedans were among the lowest production though actual production numbers are unknown. Estimates are no more than 600 Super/Custom Super club sedans for the complete 21st Series run. Only 4,802 1947 Super Clippers were built, the majority the four door Touring Sedan.

Whatever you do, proceed slowly and carefully, do no harm. There are many knowledgeable and helpful folks on this forum so ask any and all question that come up as you proceed. If you would, please start a project blog in that section to document your progress and post your questions. Many follow those blogs and learn much from the experience of others.

Again, welcome aboard, keep us posted on your progress. You've got one desirable Packard there.

Steve

PS: Please join one of the Packard clubs, you'll find not only more help, resources and support but also meet many fine new friends....a major ancillary benefit of old car ownership.
