The sedan body was customized with steel boattail speedster-style bodywork and refinished in maroon during the build. The fenders and running boards are accented in black, and additional details include a split windshield, a custom-fabricated Haartz soft top, and quad bullet-style taillights.
The Super Clipper rides on a 127″ wheelbase and independent front suspension. Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear polished Packard hubcaps and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown tires with “pie crust” sidewalls, and a matching spare is mounted in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.
Inside, burgundy leather is accented with woodgrain dash trim and color-matched treatments for the dash top, door panels, and carpets. The low-back front seats, folding center armrest, and one-piece rear bench provide seating for six, and amenities include an analog clock and a push-button AM radio along with power windows and power-adjustable front seats.
The three-spoke steering wheel with a horn ring fronts AutoMeter gauges consisting of a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. An additional auxiliary gauge is housed within the glovebox door. The five-digit mechanical odometer indicates that nearly 190 miles have been driven since completion of the build. True mileage is unknown.
The 356ci inline-eight features an Edmonds cylinder head and dual carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission equipped with overdrive. An oil change was completed in 2021.
