Trim is the difference. The car was intended to kind of fill a need for a lower priced Clipper 2 door hardtop. Since the only hardtop was the more upscale Packard Mayfair model, to get something quickly at a lower cost they chose the club sedan and decked it out with many of the Mayfair interior styling and chrome treatments to make believe it was a real hardtop. Doubt if the vertical post in the middle fooled anyone but according to Bob Neal's book it was well received by the dealers.
