I need to locate exterior trim and hood ornament and interior parts for a restoration on a 42 clipper. Engine and trans mounts. Any suggestions would be welcome.

You might try Kanter for the transmission mounts. He had some reproduced a few years back and I believe since they fit the 21st series Clippers they will also fit the 42 Clipper. If not, Steele Rubber will revulcanize your existing but it takes awhile and more $$ than the repros. Steele and probably Kanter have the two pieces of rubber that form the cushion in the front mount. You did not specify the Clipper model and the mounts are different depending on engine.

If you are missing the metal parts of the front mount that is another story. Kanter or maybe one of the used vendors or someone on the forum will be about the only option there. Trim items can be hard to find so best to list or post photos of areas missing trim so others can see what you are looking for. You can post in parts wanted forums here and the other Packard sites as well as start trying the various vendors.

Kanter, Max Merritt, Tucson Packards, Seattle Packards would be the place to start and even though he specializes in 110-120 models, maybe even flackmaster would have some prewar Clipper items. Most of the vendors contact info is in the Packard Directory which you can access from the left menu.

"Special Eight" is the 282.
