I found one for my 47 Clipper where they said it's get up and go was like being stung by a bee. I just can't picture that, but for 1947 who knows what the pick up speed was from 0 to 60. Packard Newbie, I remember hauling hay for 5 cents a bale and when it went up to 10 cents a bale, we thought we were rich. Wes Posted on: 2019/10/29 9:43

A lot of good information about the competition. books.google.com/books?id=Nt8DAAAAMBAJ&p ... summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false Wes Posted on: 2019/10/31 13:55
