...by putting a Packard script on the Clipper trunk lid during the 56th series model run they did something in the same direction. This part even was retrofitted on already delivered cars at no expense.
Both of our 55 Clippers also had the Packard script on the trunk. I doubt it was a dealer retrofit, especially on the one that was bought new at auction, and never went to a dealer. These cars still had the plastic covers on the seats from the factory.
I kind of doubted that my speculation of replacement with a senior fender would have been plausible, even at the factory. As also noted in that post, a likely reason for the incorrect placement of the Executive script would be body work.
An inspection might reveal if the fender has been repaired or replaced.
It would be nice to know some more of the history of this car... and it's even on topic!
