That 56 clipper brings back memories,

my dad bought one for 10 dollars, from our neighbor hood, its was going to the wrecking yard, but the person knew my dad had a Packard, and said you can have it for 10 bucks, that was the going the rate at junk yards.

it had a 55 trans, which I later gave away, my dad bought a 56 exe. which was later, taken apart, I put the exe fenders and grill, on the clipper. put the clipper together as a high school project,

the clipper was in real good shape body wise, the persons grandparents owned it. interior had seat covers real clean.

but later I got a 56 400 from my dads friend, and the clipper was moved to a lot, then ,,,scrap..to pay off storage fees..the car was given to someone else and that's what I heard..

the tl worked perfect on the clipper. I don't think I even replaced the bushings. Had a two barrel carb. which I still have somewhere. not sure if the air cleaner is still around.

san diego to Disneyland,,,round trip,,just past 3/4 tank.
