1947 Custom Super Club sedan, a CCCA recognized Classic, 127" wheelbase (2106 chassis), needs a total restoration, has good floors and floor sill supports, trunk floor is rusted, it is complete, no trades. 356 cid straight eight 165hp engine with nine-main bearings, not running, engine is free and turns over with starter but needs a valve job. Has correct body and VIN tags, fore and aft style headliner, known and listed in Packard Registries, only an estimated ten Custom Super Club Sedans have survived.
Last registered in 1973 this vehicle has been kept inside ever since ( 45 years ), offered "as is", "where is".

Customs came with distinctive interior trims and no external identifiers, such as door script. Special carpeting was featured, along with upholstery in rich broadcloth and leather combinations. Imitation wood paneling was used on the interior of Custom models.

Maybe you can't pay out of pocket cash for a highly desirable CCCA Classic restored 47 Custom Super Club sedan but could make up for it by doing your own work, called sweat equity, to suit your own timing and standards. Clear Indiana title in my name..for the serious, advanced collector.

Will work with qualified buyer on payments if required.

Serial: 2125-2269
Briggs: 2125-2211
Theft#: 703272

If you are a serious buyer call 765-437-010five, a "text free" land line. Just call the number. If you call from a hidden or restricted number be sure to leave a call back number. TIPT0N, Indiana is 30 miles N of Indianapolis off US31.

At Mother's Day I'd like to revisit a 39 Packard.
Photos:

Torque article,two pages
The last photo is of the Edgar Balcom family, circa 1943.

One of the daughter wrote me this week, correcting the information concerning her father. He was initially identified as John Balcomb but she corrected my faulty memory advising that he was Edgar Balcom. Hopefully the author of the Torque article will correct his story.

I found a data plate (in faded condition) in a box of parts I bought at the John Klapp estate sale in Correctionville, Iowa last year. My camera app stopped working so I can't post a photo.

It is a data plate for a 1950 (2379-5-2843) Super Deluxe Eight Victoria Convertible Coupe. I would like to give it to the current owner. Speak up and it is yours. Thanks, Dan
