235 sounds too wide. The original size is a tight fit in back as it is (even without the skirts on)

Packard offered those colors together in 1948, but not as a two-tone combination

I suspect a rubber seal, but others are more expert on this model than I

The auction car is a Dietrich Twelve - not a relevant comparison for the 41 160.

I’ve yet to see a 160 converted from a 120.

I've seen a couple of partial conversions. Usually it's the exterior bolt-ons - bumpers, tail lights, hood vents, scripts. Not really a big deal, but it is a "fancy" 120.

I agree that the interior differences and engine are harder to do. A few photos would confirm that this is a 160 (sure looks so far to be). Lovely car.

There is a gentleman who drops in here who has one of these and can perhaps educate on fine points. Interior, overdrive or not, and motor and ID numbers will also document the car (appears to be a genuine 160, but there are 120's with trim changes out there)

I wouldn't say the Clipper was the last hit with the public. As you say, fashion was a big deal, and envelope/fuselage bodies were the new thing post-war. The "bathtub" cars sold well initially. 1949 was a high sales year (2nd most for Packard, I believe). The 1950 carry-over instead of the new 24th series bodies put Packard behind.

The Woodlite was patented by, logically enough, Mr. Wood. They claimed a special reflector shape to project a beam giving superior illumination. I've only heard that they were equal to or worse than conventional lights. But they look really cool.

Those sidemounts are way to high for it to look good. It looks way out of proportion.


Which is why Packard didn't offer them on the 6 cyl with the shorter hood and fenders. Really shows off the incorrect wheels though.

Re: PRE-ORDER (If there's interest) - 1937-1941 Light Switch Knob Assembly

Is this an accessory light switch? The 41 headlight switch is a rectangle in the row of similar knobs
