Rollerball, is that number you posted supposed to be the Studebaker/Packard part number? If so, you are missing one digit. If it's a 154-series part (which sounds right for the year range), it would be 154xxxx.

Congratulations on getting the engine running Marvin! That is always a major step.

As far as the carb, maybe Ross here on the forum can rebuild it for you, or at least recommend a good shop.

1947 Clipper 6 sedan. Restored and looks really good for the asking price of just $8K. CA:

The '47 seems really good for the asking price, but two big things stop me on it -- no overdrive........and to me the white paint just does not show off the lines of the Clipper. Just doesn't look right painted white to me.

Did anyone notice that the 1955 Clipper Constellation has four rows of louvers punched in the hood?

The owner of the green '55 Patrician says in the ad: "The overall condition in my opinion is stellar."

Hmmm.......

Very nice Kev! What did you use on them to get that shine? (I see a jar, is it Mothers polish?)

Kev,

I have used late model (well, late model for me ) floats. The picture below shows some late model floats -- one is from my '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I had to swap the fuel pump (which includes the sender/float) out on, and the other is one of a handful that I got from free from a friend that runs a auto repair. The sender is from my '64 Studebaker.

If you know a local auto repair show, they will probably give you as many floats as you need.

Cut or grind the very end of the wire on your sender, remove the old float and install the new float and the small metal washer, then use a vise to flatten (smash) the end of the wire so the float stays on.

Hi All,

Just an Update on the '56 Patrician I purchased back at the start of the year. It has finally been shipped, after much delay, and is making its way to Australia. ETA is 13th June 2023. Whoop Whoop. Then travel arrangements need to be made for it to get from one side of the country to another, this is currently in progress.


I've been told by others that live down under that the Australian Border folks are very aggressive in looking for asbestos in imported vintage cars. Even to the extent of disassembling the brake system, and other areas of the car, to look for it. Are you expecting this to happen to your Patrician when it arrives?
