There is a good reason for that: although actual production numbers are unknown, serial number analysis of known survivors indicates that only approximately 600 of these top-line 1946-'47 Custom Super Clipper two door club sedans were built. Survivors can be counted on two hands. The majority of the Custom Supers were four door touring sedans. But, among Packard enthusiasts, these Custom Super club sedans are considered the most desirable and sought after of all 21st Series Clippers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) WOW very nice!! I have seen the 4 doors but I have never seen a 2 door. There are sides of the coin when seeing a 'very rare' or 'only a handful made'. Yeah you could find a rare collectible like the on pictured here and be proud you struck collector car gold!. On the other hand you'd better make sure the car is complete and unmodified because finding some of the parts can be an expensive proposition. Even though this one is $55k I assume it is a complete driver and all the hard to find parts have been found and are on the car. So buy the best you can afford on the rare collectibles and save yourself some expensive headaches!
