1946 Packard Clipper Series

This 1946 Packard Clipper Deluxe received a full repaint about a year ago providing a sleek look to its bold American design. Red decal stripes accent the extensive chrome trim, creating a powerful contrast from grille to tail. The 4-door sedan architecture displays classic proportions, while the 15-inch wheels wrapped in 205/75R15 white wall tires anchor the look. The upgraded window trim includes new rubber and felt, with functional rear vent windows adding period-correct ventilation. Inside, a comprehensive gray interior overhaul welcomes you with fresh upholstery and door panels. Wood grain trim flows across the dash, accentuated by polished chrome details. The factory gauge cluster and original steering wheel maintain authenticity, enhanced by a modern temperature, oil pressure, and battery strength gauge mounted on the dash behind the steering wheel. The bench seat and column shifter layout maximizes space with the factory AM radio and clock still on display in the dash. The 282 cubic inch straight-eight engine brings the muscle, fed by a Carter 2-barrel carburetor and factory manifolds. A 3-speed manual transmission puts you in control. The modernized 12-volt electrical system includes a trunk-mounted battery and convenient driver-side engine bay shutoff. The classic push-button start ignites the motor, while leaf springs with shocks deliver a composed ride. Factory drum brakes and the original spare tire maintain authenticity.
