While out running errands this week I took a short-cut through Little Italy and happened upon this huge eye-popper of a car parked on a small side street so of course I had to stop. It is in incredible condition and after researching (googling) I think it is a 1946 Packard Clipper or maybe a '47 but that bird hood ornament must be an add-on. Imagine tooling around town in this car - priceless!

Wow! - priceless is right!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful car! A Gem!
Yes, it is loverly! I found one yesterday that is an eye-popper and will post it in a week or so. Isn't it fun to unexpectedly find something marvelous like this?
Amazingly in great shape. The owner obviously takes great pride in it's upkeep.
This car is so cool, I love its style. Many times I think design in old times is much more interesting than nowadays. ;-)
You just hit the jack-pot! What are the chances one crosses paths with one of these beauties? "0"
Excellent photo!
Have a great weekend.
It is a beauty. And, it was in regular use, not in an antique car show? That is special.
What a gem.
Classic!! How nice to see something in such good condition that is older than me, there's hope yet Red haha!!
My dad had a Jag this size. It was amazing one the car got rolling. Ha!
What a beauty! Also love the colours.
I'd be afraid to drive it around Toronto. A few drivers there drive like they never had lessons. :))
What a gorgeous Clipper! That's quite the tasteful custom paint job, I love it! And as for the hood ornament, it might be a replacement, but these Packards really were sold with a large "bird" hood ornament as an option back in the day. Quite the elegant package.
