G'day bscycles,
Great to see you've started a blog on the restoration of your Clipper, I'll be following along with interest. Don't mean to step on your toes but instead of starting a new thread, like this one, for each aspect of the project could you keep it all in one thread being the one we're in now? If that's OK maybe BigKev can merge the other thread into this one to keep everything together?

No Worries, and yup, to add fresh posts to a thread just click on the reply button and take it from there. Hopefully BigKev, our esteemed Webmaster, can integrate the two threads and save you any troubles in fixing things.

Fantastic bscycles!
Great emotional value! This car just belongs to your family. Please preserve the existing patina as much as possible, it is part of the history of the car and your father's history. Good luck!

What a great story! Best of luck with the restoration!
My Dad had a 53 Packard Clipper too. That is one of the reasons I bought mine. But mine is not his car. Although it is very similar. Ken

Super Clipper correct? The 3 hole gauges and seat frame are completely different than on my car ('54 Deluxe).
So for brakes and a few other parts, your car has more in common with the 1953 Clippers then it does the 1954 Clipper Deluxes and Specials. If you check the STB/Trade Letters here on the website there are a couple of notes in regards to this. Basically they used '53 brakes and dash clusters on the '54 Supers for some odd reason. Also you rim size is different that the other '54 Juniors. I learned this the hard way.
