In the June 27, 1956 issue of the British publication "The Motor" it is stated that the Packard Clipper 1956 (the pictures show a 1956 model) is equipped with a 320 cu in engine. Could this be correct?

Rocky, this is incorrect. The 1956 Clipper Deluxe and Supers came with a 240 h.p. 352 V-8.
Yes, incorrect for the 1956 US models. However, who knows for certain what S-P built for the export market? Smaller engines were often sent to areas where taxes and fuel were more expensive. There were some K-body hardtop Hawks with Champion 6-cyls. There were low-compression engines and heavy duty suspensions never offered as options in the US market.
