1947 PACKARD CUSTOM SUPER CLIPPER 7 PASSENGER SEDAN

[ByouDanseiKamiEnSai]

Now, I heard that unleaded gas isnt good for packard engines, and that they're supposed to sound very quiet or "purr" so to speak.

@ByouDanseiKamiEnSai Well, the unleaded gas doesn't hurt the way these cars are used in very light service. Thanks!

[ByouDanseiKamiEnSai]

@NDrLoR But what if I choose to have it for everyday use? Just an in town drive.

[NDrLoR]

@ByouDanseiKamiEnSai That shouldn't hurt a thing. You're not putting a big load on it.  With my cars, I avoid driving them in extremes of either heat or cold.

[ByouDanseiKamiEnSai]

@NDrLoR You wouldnt by any chance know anyone who is selling a mint or good condition packard for a reasonable price? Less than $15,000. Preferably a clipper 8. I would love to own one by the time im done with college. :)

[NDrLoR]

@ByouDanseiKamiEnSai No, sorry, something like that in that price range would be virtually impossible to come by, but good luck!

That beast looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. Kudos to the owner!!

[NDrLoR]

@75capriceconvertible Well it's been in his family for 40 years--he was nine months old the first time he rode in it, along with me and its second owner in 1970. It belonged successively to his grandfather, father and maternal uncle who gave it to him in 2008.

Packard Closet?

[NDrLoR]

@gadgetguy2k Yep, that's where it stays!

LoL the back rolls slowly out of the garage and the car behind it becomes longer and longer and longer!! impressive

[NDrLoR]

@DaBoogie049 Thanks! I know, I love the unintended effect even if I do say so myself!

What a fine automobile. in 1947 you would be the envy of your neighborhood with this parked in the drive.

[NDrLoR]

@WhoSaidTyler Thanks! And even more so today!
