Automotif CCXXXI...

Standing on the street corner, minding my own business, when all of a sudden...


Hello! What's this, then?


It's a '42-'47 Packard Super Clipper Club Sedan!


The "PACKARD" vanity plate is to help out the people who didn't see the glorious swan hood ornament or the "Super Clipper" badges. There's a listing at Sotheby's for one that sold back in 2019 that has some detailed interior photos. The dashboard on these is quite grand; they were quite top-o'-the line in their day. In fact, early postwar Soviet government limos were fairly obvious Packardskis.
