Re: Why Trim Differences on Clipper

This is turning interesting--a simple question becoming not so simple after all. Just looking at the RPO list, all 55 Deluxe and Super Clippers were on the same chassis & came with everything optional. Basically, very little difference to justify the Super's higher price other than maybe a slightly plusher interior since chrome was the same. Dealer album shows the sedans all having a short piece in front stopping mid door while hardtops continued with the curve to bottom. Guess they must all have wound up with a curve.

At least in 56 they made a clear distinction with two straight short broken chrome lines for the Deluxe and the full length top & bottom lines solid for the other models.
