The Packard Clipper is an automobile which was built by the Packard Motor Car Company (and by the later Studebaker-Packard Corporation) for models years 1941 to 1942, 946 to 1947 and 1953 to 1957. For 1956 only, lipper was classified as a stand-alone marque. The Clipper was introduced in April, 941, s a mid-model year entry and it was available only as a four-door sedan.In 1946–47 the numerical designations were dropped and the line consisted of Clipper Sixes and Eights on the 120-inch (3,000 mm) wheelbase and Supers and Custom Supers on the 127-inch (3,200 mm) wheelbase.
For the first time there were now seven-passenger sedans and limousines, iding a 148-inch (3,800 mm) wheelbase. For their type, hese "professional Packards"enjoyed success. They compare with Cadillac's 1946–47 Seventy-five, eating it not only be 15 horsepower (11 kW) but by a foot of wheelbase, et selling for about the same $4,500–$5,000. Counting several thousand bare chassis supplied to commercial body manufacturers, he Seventy-five outsold the long wheelbase Clipper; but for finished cars from the factory, roduction was about 3,100 cars each for 1946–47 combined.
The postwar economy proved the experts wrong. It was healthy and many materials, otably sheet steel, ere in short supply.Workers who would never have struck during the war, ow demanded more money, nd so the automakers and their suppliers endured a series of costly strikes. These factors, f course, trangled production. At the same time, mericans had money jingling in their pockets, nd were willing to spend freely to acquire most anything—especially new cars. Packard could not produce cars in the numbers intended, nd it was selling the less profitable junior-series models.The long-wheelbase (147-inch) Clipper seven-passenger sedan and limousine were competitive with Cadillac and the low-volume Chrysler Crown Imperial, n the first two postwar years. Likewise, mong owner-driver models, ackard had Cadillac neatly bracketed.
The Cadillac Sixty-two sedan and coupe started around $2,300 in 1946—about the same price as the Super Clipper. Against Cadillac's $3,100 Sixty Special, hich came only as a four-door sedan, ackard offered the more sumptuously trimmed Custom Super Clipper sedan or coupe for about the same money. The 1946–47 Cadillac Series 62 and 60 Special outsold the concurrent Packard Super and Custom Super Clipper three to one.Almost immediately after production got rolling in 1945, ackard needed to change their market from medium priced to anything on wheels, urthermore, here was no change in market orientation, till rooted firmly in the medium price field and in 1948, enior Packard production dwindled from 20 percent to 11 percent of total production, railing Cadillac by tens of thousands. Packard, asically handed the luxury car market to Cadillac on a silver platter.
