Description
This 1957 Packard Clipper Wagon representing a truly rare and unique offering, this particular model saw extremely limited production, with only 869 Clipper Wagons originally manufactured. The scarcity of these vehicles today makes this example a significant find for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The exterior of this Clipper Wagon showcases a striking Black and Blue finish, which is noted as a repaint rather than the original factory color. The car has received beautiful paint and body work, resulting in a visually appealing presentation. The distinctive color combination, paired with the wagon’s classic lines, creates a captivating presence.
Inside, the cabin features a redone Gray interior that complements the exterior color scheme. Mechanically, the car is powered by its factory supercharged 289ci Studebaker V8 engine, which was rated at 275 horsepower—a notable output for its era, surpassing many contemporaries. The engine benefits from a fuel pump assist and is reported to start readily. Power is sent to the wheels via an automatic transmission, and the vehicle is equipped with power brakes and power steering for an enhanced driving experience. While much of the car has been refurbished, the listing notes it could benefit from some minor attention.
The sale of this rare Packard Clipper Wagon does not explicitly mention the inclusion of service records, manuals, or a clear title, so prospective buyers should inquire about these details. This distinctive and largely refurbished classic is now seeking a new owner to appreciate its unique heritage and enjoy it on the open road.
