Not a reliable estimate but an estimate none-the-less; you might count all the 56 Clippers in the PAC and PI directories, correcting for the fact that some owners will appear in both, and then perhaps doubling the number. The PAC directory shows about 90 56 Clippers, though not all may be on the road. Not a great preservation rate, considering about 20,230 made and compared for example to 1934 with only about 8000 made but 225 or so surviving.

Best 56 survival rate is probably the Caribbean convertible with 276 made and more than 90 known survivors and probably a few more lurking in garages, etc.
