Does the 22nd series hood ornament bolt to a 21 series hood without serious modification? Apologize for poor photo. Thanks Attach file: (37.99 KB)

Not sure what body style a 2172 is, maybe a 2122? Engine number is from a late 21st series. Interesting use of 22nd Custom rear grille trim.

?? ?? ?? Why are you invoking 2122? It is a Series 2103, a model 2172 Super 4dr Touring, all the numbers point to, and verify that it is, a late 21st series Attach file: (42.05 KB)

Looks like bolt on items to me.
I think the hood ornament looks much better than those surfing bird things.

Oz, My, my . .Is this unusual? I have inspected a lot of 1947 Clippers and many have Briggs tags secured with Phillips head screws and some others have slotted screws. As do mine vary also . . Another thing, my records (25) of the 21st Series Super Touring sedans show a variance ranging from 413 to 555 so I don't understand your concern.

You are correct, a 2103 2172 is a Clipper Super Touring Sedan.
