Hello Packard lovers. is there somebody who could help with his technic experiance? I have got a 1947 super clipper, Series 2172. I want to install a new wire harness. But this spare parts are only available for: 1946-47 Clipper 8 2101, Deluxe Clipper 2111, Custom
Super Clipper 2103, 2106 wich one should i use? which one is most similar? kind regards thank you for your help!

G'day JosefClipper47,
to PackardInfo.

Concerning your query, see this link to the 1947 Packard Model Info page. From my interpretation, your body style number of 2172 sits on a 2103 chassis and accordingly items referencing 2103 will fit.

And, I invite you to include your '47 Super Clipper Eight Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry.

I had good success with Potomac Packard. JP has the Packard wiring blueprints so he can make any Packard wiring harness. Their delivery time is about 8 weeks on a standard Packard wiring order, with the holidays and special orders that can take longer. They can put fog/Trippe light wiring, electric fuel pump wiring, hi-brake light wiring in your harnesses. The harnesses and customer service are top-notch.

Dep5, Thank You for the referral.

Yes we can assist you with your wiring needs. Dep5 has already supplied our information.

G'day Potomac Packard,
First post, so to PackardInfo.

And, I invite you to include your Packard/s in the Packard Owner's Registry.

Thank you but unfortunately I don't own one. I only build wiring harnesses for them.

One day I will own one though and thanks for the welcome.

thank you ery much to all who wrote a comment. for your ideas and adresses. i will check in the next days and decide in which direction i will go with my work. And i will step in the register too

"unfortunately I don't own one. I only build wiring harnesses for them."
Potomac Packard, It's fortunate you build the harnesses that help keep our Packards running, for that.

"i will step in the register too"
JosefClipper47, for including your '47 Super Clipper Eight Touring Sedan in the Registry.

Josef -- DEP5 is right, get yours from Potomac Packard, who supplied the wiring harness in my '47 Super Clipper Model 2103, body style 2172. Well made, complete, absolutely original look but in the win-win, modern PVC underneath.

Ozstatman, I have been around Packard's all my life and honestly wouldn't know how to act if I weren't around them. My father has been restoring them for right at 40 years.

I have carried frames, sand blasted parts and all sorts of other chores for him over the years. I absolutely love these cars and enjoy building these harnesses. We go to Hershey every year and I think we are going to the National meet this year again, first time since I was a kid. I am looking forward to it.

Su8overdrive, I am glad you liked our work and thanks for the kind words. How long has it been since you got your harness?
