That there Clipper in them thar photos appears to be a post war grille on a 120" platform.


Ike still won't notice.

Update...got two drums coming from Tucson. Waiting to connect with WA for the wheel offer. Went out and measured my wheelbase...yes, 120". Hope Ike doesn't notice.

I have a couple Packards, my '37 which was restored before I bought it, a needs-lots-of-time-and-money '40 110, and i bought a '47 engine from a clipper for the transplant.

That engine came with 4 spare wheels from the '47. I have no idea if they'll fit the cars....so they may be available. (also have hubcaps for that, too).

Edit: My wife's late uncle worked for Ike at SHAEF as a typist/clerk. He was a replacement for KIA on D-Day, and they pulled him out of the line on 6/8/44 because he could type and he spent the rest of the war working for Eisenhower. Lived down in Dallas; the first visit to his house I saw this enormous frame with SHAEF memorabilia, which is how I learned the story.
