Hey Rocky46, thanks for that - I don't believe I've ever seen that photo before. From the windshield trim it appears that the Clipper may have had bullet-resistant glass installed, very similar appearance to Tito's '48 which was so-modified. Second and 4th vehicles behind appear to be Chrysler products, perhaps a 37-38 Chrysler product immediately behind the Packard?

I wish I could make out the license plate, the Norwegian Government had a sizeable stable of 41 senior Packards in their service at that time and for some years to come, I wonder if the Clipper was a U.S. Army vehicle?
