The 1942 Packard Clipper models, including the limousine shown here, were produced over a matter of just a few months. As it turned out, this was the last year in which Packard would offer a rolling chassis for limousines and it’s custom coachwork on such extended chassis. After that, limousines were built by simply stretching a sedan’s chassis.
The Packard Clippers had a very short production lifespan during the Pre World War Two years. The 1942 models began production in August of 1941 and stopped in February 1942 due to President Roosevelt’s prohibition of civilian car production during the war years. When America entered World War Two, the Packard Motor Car Company built military vehicles in it’s factories.
