Did Clipper Custom production cease with the introduction of the Executive or did both continue to the end of production?

March 5, 1956 according to the Kimes edited book. Ended on June 25 with all the others. Difference of opinion between books on total Executive production but since they were made for just over 3 months probably not that many.

Thanks Howard.
Is there any referrence to when the 56 assembly line turned out the first 1956 model? My car was produced on January 23rd with a production number 2212 (1212 of 1466).

I haven't seen a reference as to the production date of the first 1956 model, but my Deluxe, number 1208, was produced on October 15th, 1955. The official introduction of the 1956 models was on November 3rd.
