Steve Messenger of Just Packards restored this 1941 Packard coupe for his own use. Body off frame, all hardware plated, every part rebuilt. It starts easily, does not smoke, overheat or make any unusual noises. The clutch is smooth, does not slip, the transmission is quiet and shifts easily, the overdrive works properly and the rear axle is quiet. The brakes are smooth and do not pull or make any noise. Both heaters, the radio, all lights and instruments, and the wipers work as they should. The cloth interior, carpet, woodgrain and dash plastic are very nice. There are two blemishes in the paint on the right rear corner. Radial whitewalls. Please email danshan1@att.net for more information or photographs. Call Robert on 479-6295318 for an appointment to see it. $28,500

The optional Oil Bath air cleaner was off only for the photos, and the right hood latch will be installed on the car this weekend.

Jim told me he'd owned it for over ten years when it traded it to Mr. Price for the black 1940 station wagon that he combined with the 180 chassis that is the basis of the Grey 1940 wagon that is shown in his book, and that I now own.

He also said it the 41 coupe was probably his favorite Packard, but the only way he could get the wagon was to trade it for the 41 as Kenney really wanted the coupe, and did not want to sell the wagon outright.

I do not know if Jim or Mr Price converted the AC to a newer compressor that allows the use of a clutch which provides better control of the AC and prevents having to remove and replace the AC belt with the change of seasons.

I do have the optional oil bath air cleaner which was off just for photographs. The right side hood latch will be reinstalled on the car this weekend.

1941 Coupe with Factory Air Conditioning. $23,500. Located an hour north of San Francisco. Clear Title
danshan1@att.net or 209 531-3095

Base price new, $1275. with the 282 ci Straight Eight. Factory Air Conditioning $275. Borg Warner Aero-drive $68. Radio with top mounted antenna $63.50. Rear fender shields $24.75. Whitewall tires $19.00. Under seat heater and cowl mounted defroster. $36.50

I believe 128,283.8 is the actual mileage, as the odometer shows 28,283.

Berry Motor Car in St. Lewis sold it new on December 18, 1940. It spent much of its life in Texas with Jim Hollingsworth, until he traded it to the Price family in the 1980's. Until September 2019, they stored it indoors in dry Kansas. I first looked at it 25 +/- years ago but it was not for sale. When it became available, we bought it planning to run the 2020 Great Race from Texas through the south in an Air-Conditioned car. Personal issues delayed our planned refurbishing, and the race was then cancelled, so I'm willing to sell it.

We cleaned the gas tank, rebuilt the fuel pump and carburetor, changed the oil, replaced the battery, then while starting it discovered the water pump bearing was really noisy, which probably was the reason it was parked. A new pump and radiator hoses made it drivable.

The engine starts easily, shows good oil pressure, does not overheat or make strange noises. The clutch is smooth and does not slip. The transmission shifts properly and does not grind, crunch, or make unusual bearing noises. Even at parking speed it steers easily and drives without pulling or wandering. Although the tires are holding 90's air, are not cracked, and have deep tread, they should be replaced. The brakes are satisfactory, but I'd plan on replacing all three flex hoses, and overhauling the brake cylinders.

It does not appear the car has ever been apart or abused. The doors, hood, and trunk fit well and open and latch easily. The windows roll up and down without problems, but the right front vent glass is cracked. Unless you intend to restore the car to 90+ points, the chrome is attractive as it is.

The Silver French Grey and Puritan Grey paint looks original. I have not found any masking holidays, or overspray, but there is evidence inside that the trunk lid had some minor damage repaired a long time ago. When it was resprayed the original black rear fender welts were covered with the darker grey lower body color. Surface rust is visible underneath, but as solid as the car is, I would not expect much in the way of body rust repairs would show when prepping it for repainting, if after driving it a bit you just couldn't stand the 10 ft look any longer.

Nearly all the lights, instruments, and accessory controls function, but you'll probably find a bad bulb or loose wire to tinker with. Under the hood there are two short flex hoses for the AC compressor that should be changed while off for a new seal. All the rest of that plumbing is steel and intact. Continuing with plumbing the heater hoses are not connected to the engine


After you've seen the images, please contact me and expect an honest answer to any questions you may have. I'm willing walk around the car while we talk and take additional detailed photographs of any detail that you'd want to see up close if you are unable to inspect it yourself in Northern California.

For the print ad.
A Factory Air-Conditioned 1941 Packard Coupe. Runs and drives properly. Does not appear to ever been apart, or abused. Please inquire for more images and written details. $23,500

Thank you. I appreciate your interesting insights.

The Anti-Theft number is 74173, on the passenger side of the firewall (dash in Packard speak). If someone wants to know, I can measure the thickness and dimensions of the frame. A very knowledgable friend will be able to look up that information in his extensive library of all things Packard.

Packard Clipper Convertible

1942 Packard Clipper Super Custom One-Eighty Convertible. Perhaps inspired by Packard designer Robin Jones renderings as shown in The Packard Cormorant, #73 winter 1993-1994. It is not likely that it is the long missing pre-war factory Clipper convertible test mule. The engine casting date is 8/1/41, # E500149. It starts easily, and runs well, without any overheating, strange noises, or smoke. The transmission, overdrive, electromatic clutch, brakes, etc. work properly. The power windows, seat, and top mechanism are all in place, and activate the hydraulic pump, but there is no fluid in the system. $43,500. Please call for an accurate description, additional information and photographs.

This one needs a paint job.
1942 Packard Clipper Convertible
Super Custom Eight 180. Strong 356" engine, overdrive, working electromatic clutch. Power windows, seat and convertible top. AM radio, both heaters, whitewalls and cloisonn? hubcaps.
Engine casting date 8-1-41, #E500149
Certainly one of a kind; perhaps the factory prototype.
A May 23, 1941 Packard or Briggs photo from the John Conde collection, shows progress toward the 1942 models, In the background is a sideview of a convertible with a quarter window.
In the winter 1993-1994 Packard Cormorant a Richard Jones article on Packard design, shows his retouch of a Clipper convertible and his statement " In fact, such a car did exist, as a test mule. I didn't see it, but it must have been beautiful"
$85,000. danshan1@att.net or 209 531-3095 for an honest description and photos.
