Emails to the 42 Clipper A/C car seller have received bad responses. He confirmed it was a "V6 Elite" and when I corrected him politely, he told me to... well you know.

That's too bad. Project cars have a hard enough time getting restored. Yes, it would be fun to have an early A/C car but the bottom line is, visually - you are just getting a 42 Packard Clipper.

Which is fine, I really like 42 Packard 120 inch wheelbase cars. (Or bigger).

Sorry, I am still curious about that 42 Clipper with a/c. I think I count 8 cyl (spark plug general location). I don't see a Super emblem.

Clearly, it's not an "Elite". Can anyone tell from the upholstery pattern if this is at least a Super?

West points out these were available in all Clippers in 1942. That's surprising since I would think the 6 cylinders were not powerful enough to support the a/c in 1942.

On the convertible sedan on Des Moines Craigs List - that is from a seller in Newton Iowa and I have seen the car. I can tell you he (or his daughter) won't budge on price. This car will sell in an estate auction a few years from now rather than have Fred budge on price now. Not sure I understand that logic but oh well.

On the 1925 Packard sedan in ieces - this has been for sale for a long time and my impression was a year ago, it was sold and so I dropped my interest. Now here it is again. OR maybe it did change hands locally and now the new owner is realizing the work involved. I will call on it.

Thank you for confirming. Because I do not come to this site but perhaps once per month, I am not as capable of finding such information.

It appears that these 'silvers' are more of a grey.

By the way, both of the 21st series sedans have nice original interiors. Offered at $18,000 and $14,000, in my opinion they represent a fair value to get a nice touring Packard, all things considered and warnings applied.

Wish I had a spare $30,000 laying around I would go for BOTH!

Thanks. I had no idea!

Can anyone answer that two tone question? I am really curious. There has been a seller on Milwaukee CL selling 2 Clipper Custom Super sedans, one for $18,000 with the blue/silver two tone with the lower miles and a nice one for $14,000 that is single blue. I like the $14,000 one better. I just don't care for the two toning BUT the two tone car only has 41,000 miles while the $14,000 car has I think 75,000.

Maybe I would like the Silver/Blue better in person?

I'm sure that Packard parts company in Indiana? Ohio? will buy it and part it out.

That would be a great fun project, but a person would easily have $75,000 into it, so it (probably) won't be restored.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE PAINT OF THE CAR THE SELLER PUT IN HIS AD. The blue and silver car.

There is a Custom Super Clipper on Milwaukee CL - a sedan - with this blue and silver paint and it is a 40,000 mile car with one repaint "as original".

I don't recall two tone as a Clipper option especially in the Customs. Can someone comment on the "correctness" of two toning and blue/silver?

Silver seems like a color more recognized as 1970's and later, yet here may be 2 examples of silver in the classic era?

The Black 400 in DFW is interesting. There is something cool about all black 50's 2 door hardtops when so many of them were painted wild 50's shades.
