1947 Clipper Coupe rear wheel covers

Hi everybody, I'm busy restoring a 1947 Clipper Eight Deluxe Coupe in South Africa and wish to find out more about the rear wheel covers. Somebody was advertising some reproductions on EBay some time ago, but I cannot seem to find the adds now.

Does anybody know where I can obtain some original or reproduction ones?

Are they the same for the Coupe and the Sedan?

Appreciate your input!

Thanks and regards,
Emil.

We call them fender skirts here. I believe they are the same for all body styles.

You say your car is a coupe, but I don't think Packard ever designated a postwar car a coupe. If it's a two-door fastback, I think that is called a club sedan.

Thanks for the input. I agree that we do have a number of differences between South Africa and the USA when it comes to car-speak. We call a hood a bonnet and a trunk a boot! Coupe is any car with two doors. But I think you are correct that my car is a two door Club Sedan. I would really like to get the fender skirts for it and a friend of mine who is restoring a sedan might like to put them on as well.

You may mean this place although I believe there have been others over the years. No idea on the quality or fit.bigjims.net/othersk.htm

You could try The Fender Skirt King in Englehart Ontario Canada.

fenderskirtking.com/

He claims to be the biggest fender skirt dealer in North America.

There is a set of fibreglass teardrop skirts in his listings that will fit your car.

Sometimes he gets original equipment skirts that do not list on his web site. You could email and see what he has.
