1941 160 coupe. Side mount fenders, new(ish) interior. $17,000.00. Several pictures in ad.


I think that this car was for sale in NM last year. It has a peculiar box (and a lousy picture of it) in the driver's side side mount well. That's what I remember.


Fred told me she'd like a 160 coupe. I told her to plan to wait for awhile.

His 2125 is in better shape than mine, and he has a correct engine in it. I have a 288 in mine. The car looks good but I'd want to get my hands under the floor at the back side of the A pillars, and a good look at the rockers there, too. His T-wheel is good. My K-wheel is crap.


Paint and an interior would get it up to good cruiser status. Mine is more in the needs restoration category. Thanks be to Allah the floors in mine are good.

Ah yes, English, or as I call it sometimes, Engrish, the great "common" language which separates all former and current empire nations. Remember in this light that Karl is translating for that pretentious version known as Oxford and most of us here speak something more accurately called 'Murrikan.


Karl, be certain that I am not picking on you. Welcome - glad that you are here. Best wishes on your project. I feel that your solution of putting your posts through 2 trips on the translator might yield best results.


I hope that you can find what you're looking for.

IIRC, from the time of the 33/40/45 designation series, the extra length was ahead of the cowl. That may have been the case from the 20s with the sixes and eights, too, but I don't know.


I know bupkis about the 1950s models except where to find what engines.

We call that car The General. The landlady sold the tail lights off it.

Two years ago, Wat ran into an ad for a "1942 Packard 180 staff car" for that other general, the Eisenhower guy. Now, I intuited that they were misinformed, or full of horse apples as the case may be. But it had fender skirts!!! A pair of them. And what I thought was a decent drivers side LWB front fender. So it merited a visit. Turns out the guy made me an offer I don't refuse, and it came with the piece of a trailer that you see it on. A few shekels two weeks later and it was mine. Turns out the car was a 1941 Clipper and probably no closer to Ike than I was. Nothing fancy or special on it other than the art fair project "military" paint job.


I dragged it back to VA and then hauled it to KY a few weeks after that. The lights on the trailer didn't work, but I was driving it both trips while the sun shone and the gendarmerie left us alone. Both trips added together came to nearly 900 miles. About 18 miles, maybe a bit less, from the farm, one of the front axle tires blew. Being on the back roads, we simply slowed and watched the smoke roll and listened to the rubber flap. A few miles later, the tire on the other side of that axle blew. We made it to the farm on what was left of the trailer arrangement and parked the whole rig. The other two tires went fat overnight. We got a good laugh out of that.


It is a good pile of parts, and those skirts!!!

LaFerrierre Classic Cars has a 443 convertible coupe for sale. The price is "inquire" but I think it said $98.5K yesterday.

Wat is good help with language such as that.


Thank you for what you do!!!

I think the same car was listed as a done deal several weeks ago but something didn't go through . . . but I could be wrong.
