Is the 1941 Clipper worth $100,000? Only to anyone willing to pay that amount for it! There should be a hell of a lot of room for negotiating there, wouldn't you say?

As far as the "bitsa" is concerned, people have been customizing cars for as long as they have been built. At some point in the 1920s, the original owner may have decided to tweek the car to make it look better (in his opinion). I don't think using the Chrysler headlights are any worse than those Woodlite headlights.

I don't know ... I like the car anyway.

It would have to have been some point in the 1930s.

The only surviving 2 cylinder Packard sold the other day after 70 year ownership:

A unique feature of the Model G was the very extended wheel hubs, a very easy ID point when viewing photos of early Packards. I'll bet a lot of shins got banged on them. Also looking at original factory photos I believe the hexagonal hub caps were originally nickel plated, not painted black.

Located at a Buy Here/Pay Here in Elizabeth, PA, this 1955 Patrician is listed at $5500. Being Pittsburgh, I'd look carefully for rust but the asking price seems a decent starting point to negotiate on a running and driving '55.

Here's a pic for posterity:

1955 Packard 400 -$4500 (Longview,TX) with parts car.

Seems like a good price on a running car with A/C. Probably mostly rust-free, too.
