Re: 1956 Build Slip Codes

I suspect that this info is already on the site, but, here goes again.

The Studebaker Museum in South Bend has copies of the production orders for most of the 1956 (and only 1956) Packards. Included in the production order is a list of the accessories included on the car, its first dealer and shipping location, the key numbers and sometimes a handwritten note mentioning the date the car was completed.

The info is available for senior cars, I'm not sure about Executives or Clippers. Andrew Beckman is the archivest at the museum.

If you would like a copy of your car's production order, call the museum's gift shop and give them your production number. They advertise 4 to 6 weeks to respond, however, I have received them back within two weeks.

The cost is $40.00 per production order plus postage.
