  • 1957 Clipper Town Sedan FS



    Well, maybe when the seller disposes of this Clipper, he can use the proceeds to buy a "spel-cheker" and avoid a few humorous pointers in future ads, such as:

    Needing a rusteration (honesty is the best policy...)

    Having solid lipters in the engine (is that too sensual for a family forum?) [:0]

    Knights in Armor must have had their swords drawn when competing for the car's recent exhaust work, since it has Duel Exaust.

    The hazards of drinking and e-baying: purphaps [)]

    Braking action must be superb, pulling down dead straight, since the brake shoes were realigned.

    He states the car is from Chicago, which may account for the supercharger missing ...although it may have come from the factory that way, he says. [xx(] (Perhaps it was left in an isolated South Bend shipping lot overnight before being delivered to a Chicago depot...)

    The Chicago origins might also account for the tires being raided, depending on the neighborhood from which it was extracted. [}]

    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                I like this one: This car needs rusteration and has a rust problem.

                I was almost rolling on the floor laughing at this guy's ad, great entertainment!

                    I have a brand new front fender that fits that car in the barn.

                    As soon as you find a product you like they will stop making it.

                        It looks to me as there's a lot of work to be done to this car, at least the engine compartment looks rough or is that just 51 years of use?
                        Is the price reasonable considering its condition, or more what you'd expect in a restored Packard?
