Re: Why were so few '42, '46, '47 Clipper 2-door cars made?

The factory illustrations of two door sedans looked great thanks to artistic license, but in person they were pretty dowdy. About the only reason to buy one would be to keep suicidals from trying to jump out at speed.

The extra two doors only cost $30 in 1941 (around $750 current). Low priced cars like Chevrolet and Ford sold proportionately more two doors than high priced brands. The survival rate for 110 Packards is pretty low, but that is still were most Packard two door sedans show up.
