This is the arrangement shown on the Part Plates in the V8 parts book, but it is extremely rare to see as it was used only on V8 cars with TL and without power brakes.

Realistically this would only be 55 Super, and 56 Deluxe and Super, but nearly all of those cars had power brakes, and for the ones without, it's likely that TL would not have been equipped.

The production timelines are also tight, as any such cars would have had to have been made between 6/1/55 (optional on Super) and 5/1/56 (standard on all).

It's also theoretically possible to find this on 55-56 Customs, as it is known that some were built without TL, but it would be extremely remote as there's no chance that a dealership would spec a higher trim level without the cheap and popular power brake option, and likewise it's hard to imagine that anyone would order one custom like that, not to mention that only a couple % were built without TL in the first place.

This is my 1955 Clipper Constellation at the PAC National Meet in Williamsburg, VA in September. It was photographed while parked with about 50 other Packards on Merchants Square in Historic Williamsburg. This is simply a fantastic car.

The dash of my 1955 Clipper Constellation. This car has won prizes at the Sully Plantation Classic Car Show in Chantilly, VA in July and at the Old Dominion Packard Club Fall Meet in Orange, VA in October.

This is the rear of the car. Note the exhaust deflectors. These were optional equipment only for the Clipper in 1955.

The hood ornament of the 1955 Clipper. I think it kind of resembles Sputnik.

This is my 1955 Packard Clipper Custom Constellation at the PAC National Meet in Williamsburg, VA in September. The color combination, known as citron and onyx, was one of a multitude of color combinations that Packard offered in 1955 and this particular one appears in the 1955 Packard sales brochure for the Constellation, which was the top of the line Clipper. In the background are several of the 40 Packards parked along Merchants Square.
