Also.. if you rent from UHAUL.. the packard DOES not show up in their list.. I just had the rep select STUDEBAKER. Again, the clipper loaded up easy and was an easy tow.

Very easy to tow. I was in the same boat about 3 weeks ago. Picked up a 1947 Clipper 6 with my 97 F150 (4.6) trailering a standard UHAUL car carrier across 4 states (total cost for the rent was $67). Tow was easy and didn't skip a beat. You should have no issue with your 1/2 ton chevy..../"

ELlementary question on the 47 clipper transmission

I just purchased this awesome car.. 47 clipper 6. Just going through it... I noticed there is a knob under the instrument panel , directly under the speedo. At first I thought it was a manual choke, but when I traced the cable, I see that it connects to a linkage on the transmission.

I know this may be elemantary for you seasoned clipper guys.. but what does this lever/knob do???

thanks...

Howard..
Thank you so much. I figured as such. Makes this car that much more intrinsic to me. I do not want to add anything to car that didn't come with it when the new owner acquired it in 1947. I will get used to using "hand signals" and looking very carefully....

Have a great day!

TURN SIGNALS AND SIDE VIEW MIRRORS???
#8

Paul Olhovsky
Hello all..!! Just became proud owner of a '47 clipper 6. One of my favorite models, with so much history.

So I am somewhat new, but have done a ton of research already, I am stumped on this one issue..

My car does not come SIDE MIRRORS... and yet it does not appear to have a location for them. At first I thought they were removed by some previous owner. But upon inspecting photos on the web of other 21 build clippers, my car has no pre-drilled holes or any sort of area for them. Is this correct? Were some models not included with side mirrors?

Also.. I have no turn signal switch on the stalk (steering column). And again, it does not appear that it was removed or that there is a spot that they could of been mounted on. Is this ALSO correct? Were some model not included with turn signals?

Any information would be helpful...
