Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

I got a question.

There is a local guy selling a non-running 55 Clipper. I have talked to him but have not seen the car.

How much of a Clipper would be interchangeable with my 400? I don't know what size engine it has right now. The seller admits he is not very knowledgeable about Packard. I know there are differences that's obvious.

Are the fenders the same?
If the chrome is in good shape would the bumpers fit?
What about the windshield?

Those are the type of things I am interested it. As mine need to be replaced and or re-chromed. Those parts alone would save me money by buying this car. I am not really eager for a parts car at this point but am toying with it the idea if it can save me money in the long run.

Hell, I don't know why its not running so it may even be a driver if I can get it started.
Thanks
