Re: '54 Clipper Brakes Different Than Specs

The '54 Super Clipper was an odd beast for sure. It has more in common with it's '53 brethren then in does the other '54 Clippers.I'm not sure why Packard choose to do this, but it's almost like they wanted to burn up the left over '53 parts. Does your dash cluster have 3 round gauges instead of the sweeping speedometer?

So any way, '54 Super Clippers use the same brake parts as the '53 Models. The '54 Clipper Special and Deluxe use the same brake parts as the '55 Clippers. Also your rim bolt pattern probably is '53. Where as the other '54 Clippers are the same as 55 Clippers.

'54 was a transition year for sure.
